Linux vs Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| The author point out several 'Myths' that have been dogging the
| arguements over Windows and Linux and defends them rather well. Two of them
| I rather like were
|
| 1. If Linux is said to only seem more secure because fewer people use it,
| then why is apache considered more secure that IIS when apache is more
| widely used.
|
| 2. If open source is inherently vulnerable, why is apache more secure even
| though it is open source. (The security by anonymity argument takes a
| beating again :-) )
|
| [...]
|
| Further the discourse on Windows' inherent insecurity due to its single
| user and monolithic model was food for though. (So now I know why the
| systems on the domain cannot fast switch users.)
|
| Another useful comment on the site is how microsoft encourages admins to
| use the administrator account itself for their application needs. Again
| that struck a chord. How many times have we seen admins on systems
| running the domain server using their fully empowered administrator
| account to 'go surfing', as one colleague put it, with IE.
