Except that nobody ever said that OSS software is immune to flaws, thats just something people say they hear when they want to bring a red herring to the discussion.

But I have heard people say that the architecture of a program does not matter *ONLY* its popularity and that is flat out wrong.

"ONLY* its popularity and that is flat out wrong."

agree, but it has a BIG part of it. i notice my opera browser gets less warning then FF or IE. is it more secure? no, it's in deep third place.

the only true advantage to open source is that stuff gets fix fast.

BTW: opera rock!
