Unix, Windows does it really matter?(security)

[Falco Girgis]

I can't live without DEV-C++, Game Maker, MMF2, and Perl. I believe three of those are windows only.

.... .... ....

Perl was created, developed, and used with Unix/Linux platforms since its conception. Windows doesn't even run Perl natively for fucks sake. Any build of *nix worth anything has a built in Perl interpreter that allows you to run Perl scripts from the command line.

avarage windows user: does not know anything about security or programming or anything other than watching porn. writing granma a letter in word. and so on.
avarage linux user: security semi savvy. looks for open ports. knows the system architecture. etc etc...

I agree.

People I know who use mac's say that it crashes a lot less than Windows. This is only because the people who use Mac's ( except for the occasional person) are the people who know nothing about computers and don't use their computers for anything more than the programs Apple give you. On Windows most people don't know anything about security and expect their antivirus software to prevent their computers from any harm. On Linux people know about their computers and are less likely to allow people to give them virus'.

mmm.... i think there are more poeple who use macs that are computer savvy than you might think.
i remember 90 percent of my csc professors had a mac, and probably 30 percent of the students.

Now I think about it the only person I know personally that knows anything about computers has a mac.
