| This post is yet another in a series of mine that strives to show the
| advantages of running Linux over Windows for most home/office users.

| My real point would be this though: Why, after all these years has Microsoft
| not done anything to prevent the ease with which a virus, spyware or malware
| can access their systems without the so-called protection of 3rd party
| companies? All they’d need to do is to follow what Linux (And Mac) have done
| for a long, long time. Why?

Vista's Problem: Microsoft Does Not Scale
,----[ Quote ]
| It is deeply ironic that once upon a time Linux - and Linus - was taxed with
| an inability to scale. Today, though, when Linux is running everything from
| most of the world's supercomputers to the new class of sub-laptops like the
| Asus EEE PC and increasing numbers of mobile phones, it is Microsoft that
| finds itself unable to scale its development methodology to handle this
| range. Indeed, it can't even produce a decent desktop system, as the whole
| Vista fiasco demonstrates.

Opinion: Competing Trends are Creating an Opening for Linux

| Vista faces problems here. Cheap hardware becomes impossible if the operating
| system itself costs hundreds of dollars, and you just can’t fit much hardware
| into a highly mobile device. Linux solves both these problems. Linux has low
| requirements. Linux is free.

| All in all, the use of small mobile device will not stop any when soon. The
| ubiquitousness of high speed web access will catalyze even more the entry of
| all sorts of small mobile devices. But who will get the fruits of such
| thing - depends on applications and their vendors.
|
| I think that Linux-based devices have a very bright future ahead.
