I don't know why we complain so much and still thrive in the windows ecosystem. Viruses will target the dominant player to keep antivirus makers in business, its supply vs demand stupid. Once *nix desktop become a little dominant, these trends will shift. Windows is a solid, tested and secure platform. Especially when used with the Windows Essentials or Eset NOD32 range of AV. Ms Office is light years ahead of their *nix counterparts. Peter On Tue, Apr 19, 2011 at 10:32 AM, Paul Kevin <paultitude@gmail.com> wrote:
Windows does not limit software production and extension of its OS, thats why most people use it. With great power comes great risks. Windows is popular and people know how to easily develop on it and tweak it. What you are trying to say is Windows purposely make these leaks....and maybe they do......leaks to allow antivirus companies to make and share money with them so that they can also provide upgrades and new releases
