I was most;y being sarcastic. Just amused that were now seeing those types of articles regarding Linux’s weaknesses from a security standpoint.

I see... But I don’t think it is weaknesses in Linux. I think they are just finally getting better at side skirting it’s true strengths. They make a big deal out of some of those bugs, but what they never share is that 99 out of a 100 require “hands on” to put it in the machine. That means for the home user, A hacker would have to physically come into their home and hack the password on their machine local and put the hack in. There has only been one or two that was an actual concern as an external remote non-local source. Compared to what? Thousands of remote bugs that windows has allowed in? Sometimes even from MicroSoft themselves...

There really is a huge difference when the whole story is told. :)
