Security on Non-MS OSes VS The Windows variants...

I have used DRDOS5-6, Os/2 2.1-Warp, FreeBsd, various Linux Distributions, etc.
So, to those with reasonable experience in Non-MS OSes...
Is the security problem a fault of M$ or not?

 

Microsoft is largely responsible, but not the only culprit.

 

Agree.

MS said linux security is a myth and asked who is responsible for the security of the Linux kernel, a loaded question but I'd like MS to take more responsibility for theirs. Vista can be argued as a significant step, but a whole re-write is over due!! Microsoft could go further but with not breaking things significantly, they are stuck with the same NT family but different model.

 

Suck or stuck?

 

either

Maybe not a "myth", but the Linux kernel is notorious for been very buggy indeed. Even if the kernel designers/coders have done a lot to patch up the 2.6.xx versions, it´s still far from been as stable and well engineered as the other *nix's for example the different BSD variants, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX etc.
