"open source" means "open to attack"

Yeah, nice link.  I click on the "Forum" link to discuss the article and all it has is a bunch of Windows virus crap.  Maybe that tells you something bone head.

moved to the windows thread, because frankly, windows has the monopoly on security holes.

Describing youself as 'XP user' means retarded, ugly M$ puppy, no brained, gay, submissive punk arse.

and I quote from the Forum in that web site

"A common excuse put forward for the many security holes in Microsoft's products is that they are only found because of their large market share. A comparison of Apache with IIS demonstrates the fallacy of that theory. Microsoft's IIS has around a 27% market share, while the open source (and free) Apache server has over twice that (as measured by number of sites served). So, according to the 'large target' theory, Apache should be the focus of crackers attention. But it isn't so. As we know, IIS has been breached by an unending series of Windows' viruses and worms with Microsoft acknowledging 40 security holes in the first 7 months of 2001 alone. The number of significant security issues with Apache can be counted on the fingers of one hand."

 You know math by the way right?

heck, haxin IIS would be a challenge for me lol

i use Apache because it's easier to use, that IIS piece of crap didn't work when i tried it.

I tried ISS some months ago, and during the setup the whole fucking thing would freeze and i had to reboot. And even if i did that, the same problem would happen again and again and again and again.

The reality is Windows is full of sec holes, being a sys admin I've come across many of these.I've also been forced to use these security holes sometimes. Blecchhh, Winblowz.

funny how most of the people who say windows is shit are administrators of systems, and most of those who say windows is great are either script kiddies or PR men...
