RIGHT ON!!!
The dominance of Microsoft has run its course.
If you like Vista, then use it! If it seems like more trouble than it's
worth, there are several good alternatives with more becoming viable every
day. Pick one of those.
Just considering the Virus and Adware problems I'll show Microsoft's
dominance is really the root of the problem. It's been shown that other OS
have as many Vulurnabilities as Microsoft's. However, MS Products are the
largest Target. Since Microsoft OS and Applications are between 80% and 90%
of the Install Base, they provide 'an environment' for Viral Activity. Even
with most Systems Patched, there are enough left vulnerable for infections
to spread.
Just for a minuet let's say there were 5 viable OS with DIFFERENT
vulnerabilities. I'll also postulate 5 different Productivity Suites. All
use ODF so they render each others files accurately. They all also have
different vulnerabilities. That gives 25 possible combinitations. Even if
two or three combinitations were most preferred, they would still not be
prevalent enough to allow Viral Activity.
Of course, the Jerks on this Newsgroup will have something derogatory to
say. I imagine most of it will be STUPID!! I'll answer any Replies I find
thoughtful and informed.
If I don't respond to your criticism, YOU'RE A STUPID JACKASS. That should
cover it.
