Hi Janina and all. You are correct, government and industry, as well as business in general, should be more security conscious in the operating systems and software they choose. The problem is, that if MS Windows products were to disappear, all the virus writers out there would immediately turn their attention to whatever the most popular os is at the time. True, it takes a bit more inteligence to write worms that can affect linux systems, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. In one way, I'm kind of thankful to Microsoft for writing such a sleesy operating system. It keeps the low life out there happy, think people are paying attention to their viruses, so those of us running real oss don't have to worry about them. (grin) But having said that, you still have apoint, that business industry and government need to demand more quality and security in the software and systems they choose to run. Gene
