Zero-day Windows bug problem worse than first thought, says expert

In article , .ˇnvalido says... http://www.computerworld.com/s/artic...ht_says_expert Another good reason to use Linux. Are we bored? Trying to stir the pot? Luckily, I don't pay any heed to anyone labeled an expert. Expert bull****er, yes, plenty of those. Never met an actual expert in any field. Been using Windows for a hundred years ... never been hacked. I must be an expert. Hurray. Windows is fine, says expert. You know, I've wondered about that. I've been using Windows since Al Gore invented it, and the closest I have ever come to malware is reading warnings about it from the experts. I never even used AV/AT software until it came with the system in Windows 7. I did use a simple, unstealthy firewall.

Just wait until the hackers, crackers and spammers think that enough people are using Linfux to make it worth their while to start attacking it - then we'll really see how good it is in defending itself from 'em without the help of the AV firms. And that will wipe the smile off your mush mate. *eg* |

I know of nothing that is "fool-proof". Aliases message is nothing new. I have a home security system, locks on all the doors and windows, yet a car moving at a high rate of speed will defeat my system, and crash right through the wall. I should post an article about how home security systems are lacking in that they don't prevent cars from barreling through walls. Of course, I will be intentionally vague and state that this particular home security system is easily circumvented based on my expert opinion. |

Never met an actual expert in any field. You lead a sheltered life. Been using Windows for a hundred years ... never been hacked. You mean you lie about how long and you don't have a clue as to whether you've been hacked. I must be an expert. You wish. Hurray. Windows is fine, says expert. You're an idiot is what you are. -- Alias |

I've been using Windows since Al Gore invented it, and the closest I have ever come to malware is reading warnings about it from the experts. Not all malware will announce itself, dumb ****. This is why there are hundreds of thousands of Windows boxes in net bots. I never even used AV/AT software until it came with the system in Windows 7. I did use a simple, unstealthy firewall. ("Stealth" is another of my favorite myths.) You've probably been infected since Windows 95 and totally unaware of it. No wonder you call yourself a "dummy". -- Alias |

One possible threat that's been patched, requires user input and wasn't/isn't in the repositories. From your article: "The difference is that the way the Linux OS is written makes it harder to exploit a vulnerability, and that is because its open source vulnerabilities are fixed in hours rather than months." When I install Linux for someone, I tell them to only install software from the repositories. Any OS can be ****ed up by a fool. Windows, OTOH, has drive by malware and a Windows machine can be infected without user input. IOW, Linux is *bulletproof* compared to Windows. Note I wrote "compared". No OS is completely bulletproof. -- Alias |

Just wait until the hackers, crackers and spammers think that enough people are using Linfux to make it worth their while to start attacking it - You have NO idea about Linux have you - the very way it's written precludes the eight-year-olds who write viruses for Windows. 56% of web servers use Linux - the very same Linux as is used on desktops. We don't see THEM being attacked by viruses and hackers do we? |

How much malware specifically written for Windows with billions of users against those specifically written for Linux, witch has less than 1% of the market? It doesn't need to be bulletproof does it, because no-one's bothered!! |
