Not to take your English grammar to task, but "superior" is a comparative term, whereas "unbreakable" is absolute. Windows can indeed be a superior OS, so long as the other OS's are a complete pile of rubbish, or if Windows was an incredible piece of software.

However, Oracle ceases to be unbreakable the moment the first break is found. To add seven more is overkill. Perhaps Larry should sack half the Marketing department and hire some more QA guys. And publish the names of the 14 assessors, so that everyone else knows never to use them for their own future evaluations.
