Gates takes a swipe at Apple, Linux security

Mandrake:
This is too damn funny, now Billy Boy claims his OS is more secure than Linux or Mac OS X!

 
quote:"A high-volume system like (Windows) that has been thoroughly tested will be by far the most secure," Gates told the audience at the Developing Software for the future Microsoft Platform conference at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre here.

Yeah... bullshit.

 
quote:

But patch management continues to be the largest headache, Gates said. "Everybody who had their software completely up-to-date (during the epidemics) was immune to those problems. But only 20 percent of our customers were, so obviously, we weren't doing enough."

My gosh... you figured it out! Maybe if you made SECURE products FROM THE START that DON'T NEED UPDATING EVERY TEN MINUTES you'd fix this problem eh?

 
quote:
Gates said "virtually all" Microsoft customers are now using automatic patching, but in the past, even this has proved problematic. Last August, many companies were left open to a new virus, because a flaw in the Windows Update service led them to believe--wrongly--that they were protected from MSBlast.

More bullshit.. didn't he just say only 20% of his customers were up to date with patches? I wouldn't touch that automatic shit EVER! I manually download patches in 2k, and well, Linux is just secure.

If you want to have a look at this crap yourself, here ya go!

Paladin9:
is there an os less secure than windows???

Mistshadow:
Nope.

Oh it's high-volume, but like only 100 people can see the fucking source code, so NO, it's NOT being tested!

solarflare:
If windozzzzzzz is so fucking secure 'Mr 'bullshit Gates' how come the fucking FBI use Macs!!

What a fucking Wanker - Gates needs to step out of reality distortion field and look around and see the real world.

If he did he would see everyone laughing at him!!

What a loser!!
