Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: Why windows gets more malware than Unix ,Linux and Mac?

Most users are not likely to get caught up in this argument. They are smart.

Every once in awhile RMS still takes a shot at Linus, Linux and open source.
Most of time it is just his sycophants. I don't see much going the other way
from Linus, Linux, open source or their followers. I like RMS and respect
him much, but think that he is on the extreme edge and regard him as our
idealist conscience. Being pragmatic I don't agree with much of what he
says. It isn't because he is extreme, but that his view allows for no other
possibilities which I see as limiting choice. I have never got the bit about
how we can have more choice if we limit our choices to free software only.
