That's what your sentence above implied, but it may or may not be my

Windows security is a funny thing. It is so good almost no one

Actually you are correct (here I get myself crucified) but hear me out.
I spent years of work on NT internal APIs (The the IBM OS2 APIs that
share the same design) and the design itself is *very* impressive.
Even with the 2.6 NPTL (The Native Posix Thread Library, already out
with the RedHat 9), th
Windows is better than Linux. Windows has higher technology, it's
developed by serious proffesionals, and of course you can't write
quality software if you're not paid for it.
Well, these are not my opinions, of course, but it seems like we all
need another thread of 30 messages about who is be
Actually, when considering the out of box support for hardware, Linux
has more drivers then Windows 2K/9x/Me. (For the sake of the people
here, I'll simply ignore a certain Spyware OS).
Both KDE and Mozilla are by far, more feature rich then the Microsoft
(Internet) Explorer. Plus, well, Linux does
there sure are. However, I can proove them wrong in linux.
Anyway, updates in windows sux.. linux has a better update system (urpmi,
atp-get, emrge). And about hebrew? Soon kde3 will have better hebrew support
then windows, and when OO will be really usable, I will be even more glad.

Then we will talk about h/w
linux still is the best os for personal useage: more drivers+app's, greater
updates. IMHO.

This is offtopic.
I know I'm doing a bad thing.
I know it's the wrong address.
I know I shouldn't be doing that.
But, BeOS is back and kicking! This is probably the best news in computer
industry ever since porn FTPs.
