Less secure than windows? bahahahahahahahahaha..
You should be a comedian.

Number of viruses/worms for microsoft operating systems:
9,453,766,122

Number of viruses/worms for unix:
Nowhere near as many, many 0.000000000000000000000000001%
of the amount above. To get a worm on a unix based system
you'd have to be just a plain moron anyway or a lousy
network administrator.

We wont go there. MS didnt invent the TCP/IP stack.

Wow. Brainwashed by MS again. I can think of several browsers, Mozilla,
Netscape, Konqueror

I hope MS stay well away from bsd. Internet explorer is a piece of ***
anyway. Its got more holes in it than swiss cheese.
