Hmmmm. A staggering TOTAL of 1.28 million rootkits out there for ALL
versions of Windows combined. This includes the millions of users still
running Win95 and Win98.
So let's see. There are about 600-million Windows users. 1.28 million
have rootkits. That's a staggering 0.21% percent of computers.
So let's hypothesize and put Linux into the hands of 600 million users.
Will 0.21% of them somehow manage to screw-up their system?

Your misleading statistics in this post is an execellent example of
this.

You mean the same way that you gave "reliable references" to backup
your claims that Windows was directly responsible for patients dying in
hospitals as they were on operating tables?
