I'm guessing that he's referring to the Microsoft monopoly of desktop systems, which means that botnets have become a major problem.
And before you answer, tell us what you're running on the machine you're typing from.
Linux. Perhaps you didn't know that a "Monopoly" doesn't mean that the vendor has 100% of the market?
What's wrong with capitalism - other than its American and you hate America?
Nothing, but that's probably because it isn't American, it's British. And I don't hate America, although I wouldn't like to live there, and I'm reluctant to visit since America got a dose of xenophobic paranoia. But the food there is great, and I'm told that if you look carefully, you can find good beers in most cities. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
