Steve Ballmer Quote : "Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches. The way the license is written, if you use any open-source software, you have to make the rest of your software open source."

Look who is talking about licensing . Its truely pathetic why people go for a "licensed windows" while they can efford a linux box or a mac with the best licensing policies . Microsoft licenses just tend to own everything , to some extend whatever a person acheives out of a MS Windows Box.

"If Linux is a cancer as stated by Ballmer I would certainly like to live with this cancer rather than having a balanced health diet of Windows".

There should be some good media platform to support and throw light to the actual security happenings so that the regular joe users may fear the right thing and decide for themselves based on facts , security history of the products they purchase.
