by the feds, is also laughable.

You mean like all Apple and Cisco products have been?

We all need a good laugh every once and a while.

Is asking that supposed to make people want to abandon Linux for Windoze?

No matter what M$loft say or do to sway or even purchase public
opinion about anything to do with their product or organization,
will never convince me of their value. Sure everything everywhere
gets logged nowadays, no biggie - just don't like M$loft.

It doesn't matter what you think.

Why should anyone believe what you think matters?

Microsoft enables people. If you aren't one of the enabled, you
are one of the left out.

They sure enable a lot of virus and malware writers! They are in turn
futilely chased by the protection program writers... I'll stick with
Linux and leave you in your "enabled" world...

The value of something is established by the public market.

The value of something to me is established by what it does for me.

Even though linux is free, the general public would rather steal
Windows than load linux.

Enjoy your malware-ridden warez. I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

Takes 10 minutes to accomplish something in Windows that takes
10 days to sort out in linux, malware or not.

I personally haven't seen any Windows malware of any kind in
over three years.

Says a lot about your intelligence. Or better, the absence therof

Maybe when you learn to use Windows you could avoid malware too.
Suggest you take a class. Local governments offer free classes
to old people and short bus riders.

What's the maximum height you're allowed to be considered a short bus rider?

"Linus Torvalds was at hacked event"

Haxored by Windoze.

As if that compares to the hundreds of thousands of viruses and malware
out there waiting for hapless Windoze victims... er... users...

Another Mac bedtime story. Got news for ya chump. There's
maybe 8 effective viri tops for Windows on the entire planet
right now. Variants don't count. There's a difference between
viri, malware and pups.

Willingly granting something permission to install is not the
same thing as a virus. So if you're an idiot and you fall for
the flash installer malware or some pup (Because it tells you
upfront, but you STUPIDLY CLICK THRU IT!), you're too dumb to
even be allowed near a computer anyway.

Yet another WinDummy trying to sell people on the idea all those viruses
and malware don't exist, and the only protection you need is not
clicking on the wrong thing. All those protection programs, insisted on
by Windows itself, are just for grins.

Got news for you chump. You're only fooling your fellow WinDummies.

So explain how so many Windows users don't use anti-virus software and
don't end up with any kind of infection. I know I don't get infected,
but then again I don't authorize anything to install without my consent
and I don't fall for the "your flash/media player software needs to be
updated" bull**** on so many sites nowadays.

It seems that the choice people have is to smarten up and continue to
use the best operating system on the market or remain stupid but install
the worst operating system imaginable, with compromises to be made every
day in exchange for peace of mind when you venture onto the few sites
which feed malware.

They don't "get on the Internet"?

That is just a stupid lie.

It wasn't true enough to keep me away from Linux in 1996, never mind 2015.

ABM is a term that doesn't seem to be in fashion anymore. It's a great encapsulation of what is
wrong with the computer industry (namely Microsoft) and how you're better of with just about any thing
else (including a Mac).

....that kind of defies the whole point.

If I need to be a wizard guru in order to safely use something then
I might as well just use VMS.

They don't end up virus free. This is just a Lemming lie.

Alternately, they could be completely unaware that they are infected or part of a bot net.
