Where is the lie? Roy posts a link showing the inherent risks of using
MS SW with a subject suggesting people should switch to Linux! Your
comprehension skills are seriously lacking.

Roy is just posting his [News] articles as usual. If anyone is getting
desperate it is you and Erik. You both seem obsessed with Roy's posts.
The only thing I know for sure is that no matter how hard you, Erik
and the other trolls try to discredit Roy it is water off a ducks back
to him. You guys are just pissing in to the wind.
Desperate? Yes you are.

Security is one of those funny things. You can talk about being "more"
secure, but there's no such thing. A vulnerability is a vulnerability, and
even one makes you just as insecure as anyone else. Security is a binary
condition, either you are or you aren't. - Funkenbusch 1 Oct 2006
