Windows is the best operating system?

[Aloone_Jonez]

The doors and windows work just fine on Windows XP.

Not by default they're not, click on Internet Explorer under the non-restricted account which is set up for you by default and Active X controls can do what they like to your system.

You can choose house that comes with wrought iron gates installed (Linux), or as you pointed out (root account vs restricted account) you can pull the gates from the closet and install them at will. Some might think the view is better from windows & doors lacking distraction such as wrought iron.

Knowledge is the key to closing all those windows and doors, not once does it say in the Windows set up that you're more vunerable if you use an administrator account for everything, Linux and Mac OS both do pointing back to the link to the artical I posted earlier:http://www.itwriting.com/winvandals.php

It really doesn't matter about the doors/windows and type of locks, burglars bring strong crow bar and big hammer for those. If you live in popular rich neighborhood expect more burglars.

Don't posher neighbourhoods have less crime as people have better alarms and security devices?

True none the less you can never have a totally secure system and yes the virus writers would have to be more skilled if we all used UNIX but you can't despute the fact there'd be less viruses on the whole.

Peer through house windows and it matters not, the view may be frolicking penguins or Luna Bliss, wrought iron or not, rocks break glass...........

No but Linux would have wire mesh covering the Windows.

MS not doing enough to protect us from ourselves ?

Nope.

HA!! How about the Auto Companies,

They do a pretty good job - car crime has fallen in the last 10 years because cars now have immobilisers.

the Court system ?

Well they haven't done enough to protect us from MS, it's a shame about the anti-trust case.

Ever have a loved one killed by a 5 time DUI offender ? It's far more devastating than Blaster worm in Windows.

Yes murder is far worse than any worm but the insecurities in Windows are responsible for allowing real crimes to be commited. Rogue dialers can connect your modem to a premium-rate line or spyware can steal your credit card details or even identity.
