vista is linux

[Guest]

Of Course Linux doesn't have any problems with viruses or spyware, why would
it?
Why would a hacker write spyware or viruses for an OS that NO ONE uses?

Good point, that is the same thing I say to linux users when they claim
their os is great...

I don't like linux either.. but vista has blown MS's quality to smithereens

I use it as my primary OS. From what I have seen, it is actually easier
to learn than Vista and has far fewer bugs. It is stable, virus and
spyware resistent, and fun. I can easily run XP in a VMWARE window
within linux without any noticeable drop in performance. Of course, I
still use virus protection and spyware protection for the XP. Vista and
XP are poor security models and so full of holes that unless you are
isolated from the internet, etc, you can not run them without protection.
But you should know that.

Vista is linux as Lexus is Kia

No wonder Kias are so popular!

In the Beginning was the Command Line

....
Imagine a crossroads where four competing auto dealerships are
situated. One of them (Microsoft) is much, much bigger than the others.
It started out years ago selling three-speed bicycles (MS-DOS); these
were not perfect, but they worked, and when they broke you could easily
fix them.

There was a competing bicycle dealership next door (Apple) that one day
began selling motorized vehicles--expensive but attractively styled cars
with their innards hermetically sealed, so that how they worked was
something of a mystery.
....

One of them (Be, Inc.) is selling fully operational Batmobiles (the
BeOS). They are more beautiful and stylish even than the Euro-sedans,
better designed, more technologically advanced, and at least as reliable
as anything else on the market--and yet cheaper than the others.

With one exception, that is: Linux, which is right next door, and which
is not a business at all. It's a bunch of RVs, yurts, tepees, and
geodesic domes set up in a field and organized by consensus. The people
who live there are making tanks. These are not old-fashioned, cast-iron
Soviet tanks; these are more like the M1 tanks of the U.S. Army, made of
space-age materials and jammed with sophisticated technology from one
end to the other. But they are better than Army tanks. They've been
modified in such a way that they never, ever break down, are light and
maneuverable enough to use on ordinary streets, and use no more fuel
than a subcompact car. These tanks are being cranked out, on the spot,
at a terrific pace, and a vast number of them are lined up along the
edge of the road with keys in the ignition. Anyone who wants can simply
climb into one and drive it away for free.
