+ Which platform will save you from the nasties?</a>,
+ The Age, October 19, 2004</strong></font><br>
+ Starts with the question:
+ <blockquote>
+ "... which is more secure - Windows or Linux?
+ <br/>
+ A snide answer is OpenBSD, which has an exemplary record with respect to
+ security. But let's stick to the two most broadly used platforms in IT today.
+ <br/>
+ Microsoft's hired analysts claim that Windows is more secure than Linux.
+ Should we believe them?"
+ </blockquote>
+ Not surprisingly, the answer is in the negative.
+ Good discussion on why Microsoft's OS is still not really secure.
+ Ends with the conclusion that, if you must use MS-Windows, do so,
+ but have another computer running an OS "which has a lower-risk profile"
+ for your mail, web and other online activities.
+ That could be OpenBSD (registration required).
