The Last Straw
,----[ Quote ]
| When I adopted GNU/Linux the impetus to
| change was the persistent failure of that
| other OS to run through a single 45 minute
| period of class time without fail. Perhaps
| the latest vulnerability in that other OS
| will be the impetus for many more to
| migrate. This one is not a bug but a
| feature of that other OS to permit working
| with foreign character-sets. That other OS
| welcomes executable files to manipulate
| foreign characters and in the process
| allows the system to be owned by aliens.
| Malware is out in the wild exploiting this
| feature of that other OS.

Dell reiterates that Linux is safer than Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| It seems however they have not retracted
| similar statements from the "Linux 101"
| video on the same Ubuntu page. In the
| video, a speaker mentions the following
| comments about Ubuntu:
|
| "It's safe and secure. Over 95 percent of
| viruses, spyware and other types of
| malware are designed and targeted to
| attack Microsoft Windows. So, by
| definition, if you're not running
| Microsoft Windows and if you're running
| Linux, you just don't have to worry about
| malware and viruses and spyware."
|
| "There's a lot of reasons consumers like
| Linux. No. 1: it's a powerful operating
| system. It can do lots of things very
| fast."
