1. Comment - I don't believe that 25% of Betanews readers are Linux PC users

   (Nov 22, 2010 - 7:32 AM)

   I can believe that at least 25% are Linux users.
   
   After all this is a technology site and often a person who is actually interested in computing will try linux. (the-register.co.uk seems to be full of Linux users also)
   
   In my friendship group about 70% are Linux desktop users and that is growing every month - most of these people are not technical minded - many I have saved their unbootable virus infested Windows machines with pclinuxos or Ubuntu - all say their computers are faster and now actually work...
   
   Most did not even know where th Windows control panel was - none have an issue with updating Ubuntu

2. Comment - Don't wait for Microsoft's patch: Secure Windows now from Monday's 0-day

   I will not be getting the patch. I run an O.S that doesn't rely on the Mc Donalds of the software world to provide its patches.
   
   Thank god for Linux is all I can say or I would still be suffering stuff like this!
