The only current products that are certified to be UNIX in its modern state (UNIX 03) are Solaris 10, AIX 5L and HP-UX 11. You can probably add OS X in a couple of months.

Gee, no Linux, duh.

The Al Qaeda computers found so far were running Windows, so should we boycott the Windows "The Choice of Terrorists" operating system?

No proof of your claim course. Nor have I ever seen them promoting Windows like communists do Linux.

Nope, and I doubt there ever will be. Doesn't matter to me.

No proof of your claim course.

here "US at least seizes Zarqawi's laptop ... On the hard drive was everything from information about Zarqawi's medical condition to pictures of himself, kept in a file labeled 'My Pictures.'" (that's Windows)

here "Relatively weak encryption appears to have been used to protect files recovered from two computers believed to have belonged to al-Qaeda operatives in Afghanistan. ... The files were reportedly stored using Microsoft's Windows 2000 operating system and protected from unauthorised access using the Encrypting File System (EFS)"

here " two of al-Qaeda's most valuable computers—a 40-gigabyte IBM desktop and a Compaq laptop ... The desktop computer, it turned out, had been used mostly by Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's top deputy. It contained nearly a thousand text documents, dating back to 1997. Most were in Arabic, " Compaq and IBM came with Windows. Linux word processor capable of Arabic in 1997? LOL.
