Comment on Google and the Windows security debate by Tudy

@Eve:

Although generally relevant, your test doesn’t take one factor into consideration, and that’s how widespread (and thus attack-prone) a certain OS is. For instance, if you had OS X or Fedora Core running on 80% of all the computers in the world, I doubt they wouldn’t instead be the main target of attacks.

And besides, I really do think that security awareness is definitely increasing among the non-technical users out there.

I agree with the point that the users themselves are ultimately responsible. However, I argue that 75% of the users are not and will not be security-conscious. However, different OS’ provide different out-of-the box experiences and protection.
A simple test I made a while ago involved installing a fresh OS and then perform some usual daily tasks before counting the amount of web trash (spyware/malware/backdoors) accumulated.
Predictable results, Win XP SP2 got the hardest hit, followed by Windows 7 Home Premium (much less garbage picked up). Mac OS X and Fedora Core came out clean, with the mention that Safari run into functional problems that obstructed some browsing.
The test in itself means nothing, other than underlining my appreciation for a fully-functional out of the box experience that doesn’t involve the activity of going around to buy and install extra software (or, as my cousin puts it “anything that grandma wouldn’t like to do”).

Dan, let’s get some things straight over here:

1. I just said I don’t consider Windows to be less secure than either Linux or MacOS but that instead I blame most of the security issues on the users themselves, which means you’re misinterpreting my words in your favor. An educated user won’t have security issues on Windows.

2. It was never my desire or intention for my blog to be aggregated anywhere, so I fail to see how my blog being aggregated (without my consent) can be considered trolling. Point 1 above might put you in a position of flamebaiting/trolling, though.

3. I stand by my opinions, and I see no reason to change them just because they’re “unacceptable” (even if they’re misinterpreted or misused – see points 1 and 2 above).

Anyway so, you know, your blog is aggregated on planet.linux360.ro, and declaring to an audience of Linux enthusiasts that you think Windows is more secure than Linux is easily construed as either flamebaiting or (even worse) trolling.
Here’s an idea: maybe you should disaggregate your blog from linux360, I’m a Linux enthusiast and I don’t think your postings add any value to that feed.

I still say Windows is a secure system in itself, and it’s long history of malware/security issues is more down to its users’ technical prowess (or lack thereof) than to it’s architecture. Of course, this is only valid from Vista (or XP SP2, if you really want to push it) onward.

Ubiquitously everywhere, premium priced, secure – pick any two.
An OS cannot be all three at the same time.
Mac OS – premium priced, secure.
Windows – Ubiquitously everywhere, premium priced.
Linux – secure as heck.
