Hi,

We certainly have a lot to learn from the other communities, but 
security is
worse than the other *-ilities, because it is more difficult to see.
Consumers can tell which operating system is easier to use, and 
which one is
faster, but there is no way to know which is more secure today.

Let me add to this a bit. Actually if consumer could tell which operating system is easier to use and faster than we 
are on the right track. This is about security, as secure operating system should provide stability, speed and... it's 
security system should be invisible to the end user as long as he/she is doing his/her job. Of course at the end it 
comes to more colorful icons and nicer pictures for desktop wallpapers...
Just me 2 cents,
Regards
