Back to trying to prove that Windows is on 95% of the Intel PC's.. what is the point? Didn't you mom ever say.. if all of the kids jumped off of a cliff, would that make it smart?

Surely to goodness you have a better argument than this.

I don't think you have a clue who is using Linux and for what. Or what you might find runs on Linux today.

But I have to say, you can stir the pot. I liked that you brought up ... lol.. I got ahead of myself.. and didn't post something..

...

I'll just handle it here.. Yea.. Linus was just a student. Well, it was a Masters Thesis.. that was the problem, no doctorate.

Frankly, I am a fan of the Mach kernel and one of the operating systems based on it.. but Windows had to be a clone of that work because Dr. Rashid, who didn't write the Mach kernel by himself by any stretch of the imagination.. had to leave that technology at CMU.

Still, I am lost about what this has to do with System security. I am happy to concede that some brilliant people teach at Carnege Mellon and for that Matter, I will concede MIT, Berkeley (arrff) and the Colorado School of Mines. :)

"Back to trying to prove that Windows is on 95% of the Intel PC's.. what is the point? "

Previous post had nothing to do with 95% desktop Windows.
I don't have to prove that Microsoft controls the desktop.
Everyone knows that already.

"Didn't you mom ever say.. if all of the kids jumped off of a cliff, would that make it smart?"

I beginning to wonder if you actually had your mother at home at all, let alone teach you a manners.

You mean you don't have a clue, like all those small businesses you claimed were using Linux without even knowing they were huh?
LOL!

"Windows had to be a clone of that work because Dr. Rashid, who didn't write the Mach kernel by himself by any stretch of the imagination.. had to leave that technology at CMU."

So.. Dr Rashid didn't write the Mach Kernel?
And he also left the Mach Kernel at CMU did he?
Hey, are you sure are you are alright there?
Maybe you need some sleep?
You not making a whole lot of sense in this last post here.

"Still, I am lost about what this has to do with System security"

Ummm the post about Rick Rashid was in answer to this gem from you :

"dalight:
"The only University professor that I know who wrote a major operating system that enjoys any market share today is Linus Torvalds""

According o you, not only was Linus Torvalds a professor( he wasn't), but he was also the only professor you knew who had written an OS.
That is when I brought in Rick Rahsid to blow a hole in your argument.
Is that clear enough for you now?
