You dont think XP having ~90% market share at the time and being easily exploitable makes comparing it to linux a little silly?

- hamburglar 6y agoIf that were the only argument, then yes, at the time it would have been a pretty weak refutation. But even at the time, it was obvious to anyone who really understands security that relying on the bad actor's own OS to prevent them from launching attacks is a losing strategy. This was an overblown non-issue. The linux comparison is simply another demonstration of it.
