Linux fans really like to play up the "Windows is so insecure!" rhetoric, but it isn't really true. Linux and the common systems implemented on it, for instance, have had plenty of vulnerabilities. Windows gets an especially bad rap pretty much only because it is the most common Desktop OS, but Desktop Windows and Desktop Linux have the same giant gaping security problem: the human being using them.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoEverything you say is true, but that wasn't my point. The OP said > ... how pathetic it is that we limp along with bloated Unix and other accidents of history that were never retired. So, why single out Unix? Is Unix more bloated than Windows? I doubt it. Is it more of an accident of history than Windows? No. Is it more in need of being retired than Windows? I think it would take someone with an axe to grind to say so. And that's what my comment was about: Trying to expose that axe being ground.
