Yet Microsoft XP/7/8 are arguably the most insecure operation systems, and the BSD flavors are arguably the most secure, yet have the lowest adoption rate.
People don't care about security they care about usability and simplicity.

- copergi 13y ago>they care about usability and simplicity. But this is at odds with your previous observation, that BSDs have low adoption. They are vastly more simple than typical linux distros, a fact that linux users complain about when trying out a BSD system.
- valarauca1 13y agoUsability and simplicity are often buzz words to describe familiar.
- JonSolworth 13y agoUsability and simplicity are not separate concerns from security, they are requirements for a secure system.
