> Since the inherent insecurity of linix based systems this could cause a rapid change to windows which has the benefit of being attacked so much that they learned how to lock it down better then other modern os’s

That's an interesting perspective. Die-hard Windows fan, I take it. :-)

I agree that Windows has suffered more than its share of attacks over the years (90% of the market share, but >99.9% of the attacks), giving more than ample opportunity to improve. Windows is (at last) getting about as secure as the other major consumer OSes. Still has a way to go to get to where the BSD Unixes are, but they're not consumer OSes.

So granted all OSes have their pros and cons. But "inherent insecurity" is not something normally associated with Linux. What's your source for that curious assessment?

there have been a number of known unpatched issues with consumer grade linix based os platforms the worse offender being ios. as far back as next a vulnerability was found and if they fixed it it was less then 3 years ago.
