1. Comment - Microsoft AV Head Criticizes Apple

   (Oct 19, 2006 - 10:54 PM)

   Valid point despite the cold shot.Everyone, we have dealt with viruses and spyware for 10 years now. Do I detect wool over the eyes of america? License agreement anyone? In not so much time we will loose huge market foothold to foriegn nations in the technology arena. Why? Because we are still dealing with the same computer problems that we had 10 years ago. MS windows represents an evolutionary step backwards in technology. It keeps breaking and we keep paying for the repair concept. Symantec, MCafee, ect. In most other arena's if someone made such a lemon of a product they would have gone out of buisness. However the average american is afraid to lean or associate with anything they will have to learn about. At least in my experience. Gates stole a lot of idea's from apple when he left their team in '84. Possibly he could get a few more and secure his flawed operating system? Or is it that MS makes so much off their lisencing agreements they dont want viruses to go away?
   
   If you take your kid to the "convienant and familiar" daycare facility and he or she keeps coming back sick would you give the school more money to hire contractors (10 years worth) to deal with the health concerns or would you find a different day care facility?
   
   I beg all who read this article to stop supporting the monopoly of MS and think about a different solution. I dont want to see my kids flipping burgers with useless technolgy educations because we dont have any technology companies left that compete in the marketplace.
   
   Linux is free and getting very easy to use and adapt to. 1000's of progams come with linux that you would have to buy with MS. No viruses! Macs start at less than MS office. No viruses! I applaud apple for making the statement that we should have made 9 years and 11 months ago. Did I read Apple let a total of 25 incidents of this virus out of their contractors facility? Did I also read that they sold over 8 million ipods in one quarter? In the grand scheme 25 is not very much compared to Ford with the goodyear thing and the recent exploding battery scare from Sony. Didnt we find a cure for aids in less than 10 years( still testing but affirmed)? IE 7 already has reported expoits. In fact the same day it was released. Think about it.....
