My issue is with the format and content (or lack thereof) of the first post, I don't think I mentioned the iPhone, *BSD, MS or at any stage said anything at all that would indicate I was taking any side in the 'which OS sucks more balls than any other' debate.
With respect to my OSX comments: I was just trying to point out there are some similarities (9X vs OSX) as far as consumer confidence and education. It took blaster and 66k other viruses before the average windows user knew what a computer virus was. Will it take the same level of SNAFU for Apple customers to know they shouldn't click on a text file that has #!/bin/sh or have they learned from Windows mistakes that you only need to worry about .bat and .exe files? Only time will tell. (I know it asks if you want to display or run the files) In respect to which OS is better: The OS you know how to best use is the better of the two. I will take education over default configuration any day. With respect to the iPhone comments: I brought that up because like win9x, everything is run as "root". With respect to the MS comments: Well, I tend to babble a lot :-) -JP<who has lost his soapbox privileges for a month due to harshing nnp's mellow> _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
