who thinks that? i agree that is the wrong attitude

I find it quite common, given how people almost always take the advice of "don't use Windows" at it's face value. Your security depends far more on your habits rather than the OS.

you should that take at it's face value IMO, i agree that your habits are a big part of your overall security, that doesn't make windows a great os

I don't disagree that Linux is better than Windows in some aspect but Windows is designed to be KISS and not over complicate certain things.

that is the most hilarious thing i've read in a long time.... Shocked

windows is a "business" operating system, they have to be compatible with software from ages ago and that means they can't get rid of some very old codebase because of their licenses or contracts with governments or businesses, sure that is getting better, but no, just no

sure you probably mean it is kiss for the enduser, but even that is something i completely disagree, apple products are more userfriendly than any windows system will ever be (okay i don't know the future, but it is highly unlikely)

but in the end i agree with you guys on some parts, don't download stuff you don't know, your habits are part of your security, but your os is also part of your security and i really believe that people should not use windows - if something is bad, don't recommend it because it is convenient or a "everybody does it, it can't be bad..."

It's perfectly fine to not like Windows because Bill Gates, NSA, ABC, XYZ... but, it's disingenuous to promote this theory that if you don't use Windows somehow your privacy is magically protected, and you're invulnerable to being hacked. That's far from the truth. If you don't know how to keep your data private or your computer safe, no OS will protect you. Educating yourself, your family, and your colleagues is the only safe course of action, and promoting any alternate theory is dangerous.

who said what you are implying here?
