Microsoft software is inherently less safe than Linux/*BSD software. This is because Microsoft has favored usability over security. This is because the market has responded better to that tradeoff. This is because your mom doesn't want to have to hire a technical consultant to manage her IT infrastructure when all she wants to do is
get
email pictures of her grandkids.
Let me see, have I got this right? Apple software is inherently less safe than Linux/*BSD software. This is because Apple has favored usability over security. This is because the market has responded better to that tradeoff. This is because your mom doesn't want to have to hire a technical consultant to manage her IT infrastructure when all she wants to do is get email pictures of her grandkids. Hmmm... The last three statements make perfect sense but that first one just doesn't seem right. Could it be that ease-of-use has nothing whatsoever to do with security? --Michael Dillon
