didnt members of this board especially the anti-windows left brigade say that time will tell vista is in-secure ... hmmm ... i wonder were we wrong when we said it in the beginning that vista the most secure os .... oh welll what the hell ....

[Third Eye]

thanks for the information.Using vista for month with no virus problem.

[gxsaurav]

Saw this a few days ago.

Bugs will always be there. Vista faced the recent ANI falw, however how many virus are out there affecting vista after 6 months of Vista? 0

Now, the next statement from Lingeeks & Macboys will be "Vista is new & not popular enough, once it is popular enough there will be Virus."

hey, isn't that what we Windows Users say about Linux & Mac

[~Phenom~]

I dont believe them. Ubuntu/Linux is the best and most secure.

Fine, don't believe them. It hardly matters for them. linux is still trying to play catch up in desktop market. Mac is still trying to release a PMP & OS & Vista is out there making maximum amount of money.

In the end, a high salary & money is all what matters. Ethics look nice on paper but not in real life.

The right word WHy we should pay 15 k For security after all we all did not use Windows without AV

[gxsaurav]

You don't need to pay 15k for Vista. 10.5k for home premium is good enough.

If linux does the work for you & if you have spend most of your computing time learning Linux to play a mp3, well then stick to it & stop criticizing Windows. You won't get any criticism back for linux too.

Very true, For us Indians...we depend on Piracy. Most of licensed Windows users are from US, UK and Europe and other developed countries. They wont mind spending one day income on Windows rather paying hundreds to doctor after using some not user friendly OS in my opinion

[shantanu]

Well, I use Windows (Vista & XP) without AV.

and in india too many people have genuine licensed Version of Windows. People who are concerned only buy genuine Software,

and yes Vista is and will be the most secure OS till M$ launches another OS with their Timeline.

[gxsaurav]

Vista "might" have virus in the future, well...I will get worried at that time then. Right now It has none & I am happy using it right now with just ad muncher & Zonealarm.

The last thing that someone using pirated windows should say is "Vista is insecure". Here is the thing, MS didn't installed that "Free viagra toolbar" in your computer. You cliked on that link yourself.

This is the problem . MS products are all about making money and Linux/OSS is all about "humanity to others". And a world without ethics will be nothing less than HELL.

Open source also have jobs and do u think all employees/engineers of Red Hat, Gentoo,etc. work without pay ???
OSS does not mean free software as in free beer but as in freedom of speech. First go get the basics of open source clear.

and if Linux doesnt let u work on ur computer... well ,as they say,Linux is user friendly but not idiot friendly

I like William Henry Gates III as a philanthropist but as a businessman, both he and his policies sucks.

man i was about to say the same thing ... bang on target .... the thing is this is 1 of the forums where every1 wants to pwn MS users but in turn like their os get pwned themselves ... and there are very few forums like that its either all windows or all other os .... no where windows pwns others to the nail ... im proud to be a part of this forum

the truth always wins ... and it has been for the pas 3 decades or so

@anand thanks for reviving the discussion i was kinda bored with arya and neps constant display of naivity

[~Phenom~]

^^well i dont hate MS but I just think OSS is better.
And about me using linux , I think if i can use linux and they can't , I am no more No.1

Ok, now don't critisize if you don't know how things in Windows world work.

[~Phenom~]

lol
Well , I have said it before and I am saying it again " Linux is the best."

End of debate from my end.

[iMav]

what does ur work is best for u ... as long as others dont go around bashing other os and its user we are cool ... we have always said if windows does ur work use it if linux does ur work use it but if ur using linux then dont go around bashing ms and windows users

That's a better way of saying that you like linux . Why it has to be always like "linux is better , windows sucks" . Why do linux or mac users always have to mention windows in each of their statement. Why can't you people get out of the shadow of MS, if you don't like it, why is ever worth mentioning.

Point is, why people have to act like they are spreading a religion. "Come with us and be enlightned" my a$$. I hate these missionary people.

^^ it was worse until the three mustkuteers came together on this forum

[praka123]

this is nothing,there are more than 20+ "independent security" comparison studies done by other companies,at the end:sponsored by Mu$dcrosoft.LOL!
UNIX/Linux is meant for security and stability unlike the GUI gaming shell!
As against the FUD survey's from M$,read below :
Kernel Comparison: Linux (2.6.21) versus Windows (Vista)

Intro

This aims to be the most comprehensive0 kernel1, 2 comparison3 of the latest most popular Unix style kernel versus the latest most popular kernel. In Q2 2007, this means Linux 2.6.21 kernel versus Windows Vista kernel. In Q3 2007, this means Linux 2.6.22 kernel versus Windows Server 2008 kernel.

^let u decide.
Dont believe these FUD survey's; as of 2007 M$ seriously wants to kill Open Source and Linux-but they cant

So, if there is a survay praising MS it is FUD.

If there is survay for Apple it is also FUD

If there is survay from u, about Linux then it is not FUD against MS despite of the fact that u don't like MS.

Gr8 Logic.
