If what you say is true, and I doubt it, we can always rely on the likes
of Frank to stay with Windows. Don't think there are a lot of Franks
around? Bush's reelection proves there are.

That said, Linux, IMHO, is much more secure than Windows.

I wouldn't quite us a blanket statement like that Frank. =)

There was a survey done here in Germany among software developers and
related IT companies. The results and trends were quite interesting. Now
granted, this is just specific to IT/Software Development but then again,
it is exactly those people who create the products for the market and
determine the users available choices. So to me, a gain in that area is a
pre-requisite before a gain in the general user area can ever occur.

Percentage of those who still consider windows important for development
dropped by 12 percent since 2006 down to 64.8 percent. Reasoning being an
increased use of Linux, which rose to about 12% and is expected to hit
about 18% by 2008. And yes, this takes Vista's release into account.

The question of "market share" doesn't come into play at all when it comes
to Linux. Linux is freely available for anyone that wants to download it.
It isn't part of the "market" (marketplace) for that very reason. This also
makes it impossible to assess how many desktops are running Linux. Linux
doesn't need to be activated or registered, so no figures available there.
Counting web hits from Linux boxes can't expose the reality either, as web
counters are focused on who wants to access particular content. Downloads,
hardly work either, as one can download one copy of a Linux distro, but go
on to install that one download on a multitude of computers. In short, we
have no idea how many Linux desktops are out there. What we do know, is
that it has been growing and with each passing year, new users are joining
the Linux fold. Enough must be doing it, that Microsoft has been concerned
by the trends and views Open Source as it's main challenge to its "market
share".

True in the Windows world. In the Linux world, it isn't that easy to just
pickup an application from anywhere and install it. A repository, like
Ubuntu's, will have over 25,500 software packages, and that is where the
typical Linux user will get his/her software. He/she will not be picking up
raw source code files and trying to compile them and install the binaries.

Thanks for your well-considered retort. I must assume, that you disagree
with each of the statements I made? I should learn to not argue with you,
as you are so good at tearing the bits apart with your indepth and
thoughtful analysis. You obviously are a great debater. Trouble is, your
kind of debating skills is what one would find in a primary school. You
have graduated from primary school, haven't you?

He's a grade school drop out that has a mail order business in his
kitchen. The ONLY thing he is capable of his lying about you and
insulting you. When someone lies and insults him, however, he can't take
it and goes astral.

Nobody forgot your claimed marketing experience... Frank says he runs
some mom and pop "marketing" company off his kitchen table. Probably
some MLM rip off or chain letter scam.

You're living in a constant state of denial.
Every post of yours is an insult fo one type or another.
Everybody in this ng has complained to you about your demeanor, name
calling an insultingly personal labeling (remember what you wrote about
me the other day...or did you forget?).
I suggest you shut your stupid insulting mouth once and for all and stop
making a fool out of yourself in public.
But then again, I don't think you have the intelligence to know when to
stop as you've already demonstrated.
Wise up!
You're starting to get into the danger zone.

hahaha...well, you've just proved exactly what I predicted.

Because out of the first 100 computers it runs into 98 of them are going to
be Windows boxes.

The average user today makes themselves administrators or logon as root
(Linux equivalent). Even if they aren't they are more than willing to type
that root password in when it asks them for it when installing software not
thinking they might be installing something the don't want.... This is how
most virus's propogate.

NT seperated the user and kernel space back in what 1993?


It is still plain stupid not to protect yourself and others buy not running
an a/v solution whether your running windows or linux.

Probably because most of the software floating around in cyberspace is
written for
Windows since it is by far the most widely adopted at the current time.

Actually i believe its from installing the accessories and computers they
sell to the masses
but i'm sure they do some cleaning. But why would they be doing that if
everyone was as savvy
as you originally suggested?
