while I would just have to put a few for loops into Linux's current password management system. No hard work, no large fee, just a tiny bit of editing and a recompile. You don't have that option with Windows.

Hmmm...I don't remember that mantra amongst the linux crowds. Let's see how much sense it makes.

"In order to do anything you want with linux all you have to do is just change a few lines of code."

Interesting and amazing, but not true.

The point of the Linux mantra of being able to customize the code to do what you want was so that one could customize whatever they wanted/needed. Even replacing whole parts.

Did you read what I wrote or are you just making stuff up? I think the latter, because all I said was that to do what I was talking about would only require minor modifications -- modifications you can't do in Windows due to the closed nature of the source code.
