I'm not going to defend MS's lack of concern for security other than to say that if Linux were the dominant consumer OS, worms and viruses would be written in Linux.

Actually linux *IS* the internet router and server method. APACHE has withstood hackers for years; it is the predomininat method of routing not just because of low cost but because of ease for public use. Keep in mind that preceding the domininance of the public domain of the internet, we created the TCP/IP stack independent of Bill Gates.

Within the UNIX community, we have few problems about all this hoopla concerning security. It is all built in, if you know a few simple steps to use it. It is available free on the internet, free of charge. Look it up, when you have time.
