    IBM is not out to kill windows, Misrosoft is doing that themselfs.
    With over 100,000 pices of malware floating around for Microsoft products it is clear that either, Microsoft no longer has ablitiy to fix their own software or They chose not to fix it hoping to SELL you a new software product.
    As evidence see;
    XP home http://secunia.com/product/16/
    Xp Pro http://secunia.com/product/22/
    Windows 2000 Professional http://secunia.com/product/1/
    Windows Server 2003 Enterprise http://secunia.com/product/1174/
    A quick scan of those pages shows that not only that Micrsoft has not patched a lot of known security issues, but some of them are years old.
    That right Microsoft has left it's software unpatched for YEARS, how the consummer can put up with this is beyond me.
    Now compare this to a few of Linux distro's
    SUSE Linux 9.2 http://secunia.com/product/4258/
    SuSE Linux 9.1 http://secunia.com/product/3473/
    Fedora Core 3 http://secunia.com/product/4222/
    Mandrakelinux 10.0 http://secunia.com/product/3918/
    So what if Linux has more(?) security alerts atleast the chances of them ALL being patched quickly is much better.
    IBM is just showing you the way :cool:

    Every dog has his day!!!! IBM and open source will kill Windows :)

    They can always sell X-boxes or something or file lawsuits to try to stop open source :p :p :p
