On top of that, the backdoors built into Windows and Apple OS’s would stagger most people. I wonder if there'll be a push for new (and hopefully non-unix/linux) OSes now.
I'm reading about Wirth's Oberon and it's looking pretty interesting.

I wonder if there'll be a push for new (and hopefully non-unix/linux) OSes now. Why exclude the world's largest OS (in terms of usage)? It already has users, experts, and a lot more applications than anything else out there right now.

I wonder if there'll be a push for new (and hopefully non-unix/linux) OSes now. I agree, but have a personal penchant for Linux for some reason. Some distros are, of course, more desireable than others. Fortunately, with Linux not packaging propitiatory drivers with the OS, it reduces the risk. I still love the Linux kernel.

Just curious - why non-unix/linux? Just as an alternative, or is there something inherently insecure with the 2 mentioned above?
