I don't write code for a living, but I do know that programming is more art
than science. Software is very much like a house of cards in that one false
move can collapse the entire structure. But as a reader pointed out in
response to some remarks I made in regard to IIS (Internet Information
Server), when was the last time you heard of a virus taking out an AS/400,
iSeries, or whatever IBM's calling it this year?

Granted, there are a lot more Windows boxes out there than there are
AS/400s, and like any predator, computer attackers go after the easiest
prey first. This alone would seem a compelling rationale to find
alternatives to Microsoft's computing platform, but whoever said humans
were rational?
