LONDON: The mi2g Intelligence Unit said that the most comprehensive study it has ever undertaken reveals that the world's safest and most secure 24/7 online computing environment -- operating system plus applications -- is proving to be the Open Source platform of BSD (Berkley Software Distribution) and Mac OS X based on Darwin._


I wonder what M$ has to say about this

They'll likely a) ignore it b) say the numbers are misleading because the other OSes have such a small share of the market c) call Dvork and have hime come up with another of his inane Apple-bashing editorials.

This is good news! BSD and OS X are very related and damn fine systems. This may be ignored in the short run but if this holds out many more will reach the same conclusion. That won't be ignored. At my university the network is run on Solaris with Linux and Windows2000 clients.

Sun makes kickass servers but I'd like to see some XServes in the future.
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.
