While I don't condone the comment, let's be fair: This person didn't say that Windows was inferior to his choice, he merely implied that Windows was so badly broken that to run it at all is to be vulnerable.
While such a comment isn't particularly constructive in this context, it is different in tone from saying that it's inferior to some choice he has made. For all we know, the person making the comment is required by his job to use Windows and is expressing frustration as a user.
- statictype 16y agoI think he said it as a joke. Possibly sarcastically alluding to the standard quips made at Microsoft's expense. So, in other words, I don't really think the poster implied anything at all in his comment. He was downvoted for cracking bad jokes on HN, not for making a poor argument.
