Would you do the honors? I do not have my tech ping list available at this moment.

“Half of all crashes in Windows are caused not by Microsoft code, but third-party code”

That’s like Ford saying half of all fatal car crashes were caused by driver error and not by the car failing.

Lol in one hand he bashes somebody for wirting a one side piece and then he goes and writes one himself pot kettle anyone?

I have never, I mean NEVER put a patch on an AIX, Solaris, or Linux system and had it break anything! My time for test to production patches is a couple of days for a low risk, and at most a day for high risk. On the windows side of things three times last year I had a patch break something else (usually an application it would be SQL server, or ...) My time from test to prod is at least a week on critical systems and around a month on low risk.

Windows update is fine for the desktop but anyone who would update Windows without extensive testing is nuts..

Zymaris claims keeping patches updated is far easier in Linux "due to the well thought-out and well-executed package management technologies". This is a highly contentious point, and not one that lends itself to being quoted without analysis by any journalist who wants to claim a shred of credibility.

No, it is NOT a highly contentious point. What is contentious is "which package system is better, RPM or Debian .deb"? But ANYONE who has ever dealt with both Win2k and either RPM or .deb knows full well that Linux wins hands down on this matter.
