[Op/Ed] Linux is More Secure, But Still Insecure

,----[ Quote ]
| People keep having this delusion that security is a product. That,

| system that's as secure as Fort Knox.

| Some systems are more secure than others. Linux, as anyone who pays
| any attention to security news knows, is a lot more secure than Windows.
| If we were talking cars, Linux would be a Volvo S80 and Windows would
| be a Ford "Hit here to blow up" Pinto.

| The same is true for applications. Are Firefox and Thunderbird safer
| than Internet Explorer and Outlook? Of course, they are. Does that
| mean you're safe using them without their latest patches? I don't
| think so!
