" "Can you really depend on one vendor to ensure that you have an
appropriately secure computing
environment? More importantly, if a company never said its product was
secure -- such as with
Microsoft and Windows 95/98 -- is it justifiable to demand this of them? 

In fact, many people believe security is important enough that they have to
take the matter into their
own hands. As a result, people of this ilk avoid operating systems such as
Windows 95/98 (and even
Windows NT, according to some) that aren't secure and deploy operating
systems and other
supporting tools they consider secure, such as Linux.    " "
