- ZoFreX 14y agoThis is a very short-sighted response in my opinion. They've been finding zero-days in a wide variety of software, so if you are a target, not running Windows isn't going to help you much. I don't think any part of this is scary because, let's be honest, none of us are likely at all to ever be the target of such a sophisticated attack.

- PakG1 14y agoExcel is still the killer business app. Its functionality and performance is by far the leader of the sector. Until other spreadsheet programs can offer comparable functionality and performance, other operating systems don't stand a chance in widespread company use, with the exception of Macs. If any OS has a chance of supplanting Windows in business, it's OSX, and mainly because you can run the latest version of Excel on OSX.
