How does this negate the fact that this MVP is being a hypocrate by doing
something that he ran another poster off of the group for?
Simple. The other poster was writing about Ubuntu, but
probably wasn't pro vista.
The issue posted here was to point out that Linux isn't
bulletproof. The other issue, of more importance, is that
all operating systems are potentially flawed. MS
users are lucky that they were attacked so much. MS
is constantly patching the system to keep it secure, and it
is a pretty streamlined and automated process. Other Os's
have patches available, but sometimes people don't do
what they should and things happen.
I liked Linux when I used to run it. It is a pretty good OS
and has some neat features. But I dislike how some
people have packaged other people's work and sold it
while the people who did the work get nothing. Not
any kind of ideal I'd like to support if I am going to
try and make a living here. I didn't mind it when it was
all free, but now, with so many systems being sold,
and so many changes, it is totally removed from what it
once was. And there's no real benefits at all to using it.
You still end up paying for the stuff you really want.
Might as well use something that has some real support.
Something more reliable than " well maybe it'll happen,
if this other dude does it, you know.." I'm not paying
for that. Heck, I'd rather pay for Vista than download that
for free.
I'd like to think that there's more content there than
"Vista Sucks, get UBUNTU." as well. And since this
is a pro vista group, it's only right that we should praise
Vista. If you want to praise Ubuntu, do it in their group.
Watch the cookies in Vista. The only thing I've had
issues with. Pc-cillen is now scheduled to run daily
spyware scans. Yesterday, i think it found like 14?
Slowed my system down bad until I scanned it. Now
all is well again.
