Linux has fewer bugs than rivals.

Even if it is difficult to break, nothing is uncrackable, unhackable, or perfectly safe, and if someone wanted to try to destroy linux, they could. I'm not saying that Windows is better, but it is useful to have an industry standard, be it linux or windows. Right now it is windows, and so that it what I'll use.

The only protection that hasnt been broken through code is the write protection on a floppy.
What do you mean by "destroy linux"? Making it nonexistant will be virtually very close to impossible...
The what industry standard? if its a standard than there needs to be something to standardize... For example the web server industry standard OS is Linux.

while we're on the topic, i'd just like to share this taken from www.malaysia-today.net
It's over. Our relationship just hasn't been working for a while, and now, this is it. I'm leaving you for another browser.

I know this isn't a good time--you're down with yet another virus. I do hope you feel better soon--really, I do--but I, too, have to move on with my life. Fact is, in the entire time I've known you, you seem to always have a virus or an occasional worm. You should really see a doctor.

That said, I just can't continue with this relationship any longer. I know you say you'll fix things, that next time it'll go better--but that's what you said the last time--and the time before that. Each time I believed you.

sorry, I had just woken up and was still a little tired. I didn't quite know what I was saying.

By an industry standard, I meant for user applications, mainly games. So long as most people have windows, most games will be written for them, so most people will use windows. I know that this is circular logic, but that doesn't stop it from being true. People will conform rather than change because conforming is easier. And not all independent research groups find linux less vulnurable. Forrester Research found both to be equally secure.

Thats what i thought you meant, but i was just saying that windows is not the standard for everything, many corporate networks run Solaris for example, web servers, the majority are Linux based, I know windows is the operating system for gamers, thats why i keep my windows anyways, unfortunately there's no directX for linux... not yet anyways, but with companies like Adobe, starting to move into Linux market, the views will shift pretty soon.

I know how that feels...
