Never mention Windows and security in the same breath
,----[ Quote ]
| If I had a dollar for every time Microsoft was forced
| to defend the abysmal security of its Windows
| operating system, I would probably be lying on a beach
| in the Bahamas and sipping a cocktail right now, with
| my financial future secured.
|
| The latest defence, from Windows communications
| manager Brandon LeBlanc, has as many holes as Windows
| does in its security armoury.
|
| As my colleague Jake Widman reported earlier today,
| LeBlanc took issue with a story stating that Google
| was moving its internal workstations away from Windows
| to OSX and GNU/Linux due to Windows' poor security.
|
| In his response, LeBlanc talks of security issues with
| the Mac and Google too. That isn't the point - no
| system or company is perfect.
|
| We are talking here about the relative security of
| various operating systems - and Windows is, without
| any doubt, the worst. Put it up against OpenBSD,
| Solaris, NetBSD, FreeBSD, GNU/Linux, OpenSolaris, or
| any other, Windows comes out last when it comes to
| security.
