[QUOTE="Brahman, post: 1046877, member: 11847"] Thare is no point in arguing about which came first the egg or the chicken. If you believe security is a feature of your preferred operating system, then God save you and your system. Security is not a feature which you can add or remove to your os, it's a set of practices that either you or your system admin chooses to deploy on your system. Consider the the case of a linux server with an open ssh port, no matter how secure your kernel/os is you are an open book to the wide open world, likewise consider a windows installation without updates for a long time, no matter what you do the system is vulnerable to an outside attacker. In both these cases the practices adopted by the end user is what compromised the system. So it all depends on the ultimate user action that makes the system secure. [/QUOTE]
