Look, its not Microsoft's problem.

Its the spyware, hackers, and crackers.

You can log onto any computer on the internet if you know its IP address.

Once you do that, harm can be done to the computer.

FTP sites no longer work for me. Good.

Don't want'em. Don't need'em.

Do you want the Internet police to continue shutting on websites because they are running Windows? Then get off of Microsoft's case. They ARE doing something about it. Linux and Unix are the ones without any security. GnuPG is not what you think it is, and a password can easily be cracked. Linux and Unix have root, which can be used by a hacker to do some serious damage to your computer running linux. Don't tell me otherwise, because it happened to me while I was running Linux.

Linux safe? Bah humbug.
