Re: Which OS is more secure ?

["Adam Lang" <aalang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I won't debate which is more secure.  It is an unwinnable argument.

I am just going to debate the usefulness of that report/numbers that were
posted.  They are bogus numbers.

Illinois produces more produce than Iowa, but we only counted corn for Iowa
whereas we counted all crops for Ilinois.

They were far from fair in their comparisons.
