Well pal, I guess you didn't read this from the above link:
Vista's most-obvious fatal flaw is its baked-in DRM (what is DRM doing
in a "business" OS anyway?), which can be turned against it as a
weapon. What's to keep a Trojan or other malware from simply
generating spurious tilt bits at random intervals to cause random
resets-- or reboots-- or locking out system hardware altogether?
As has been pointed out in the past, the problem with DRM is simple.
Sure, the content is in a "locked box"-- but the provider HAS to
provide a key to open it, and sooner-or-later, somebody is going to
make a copy of that key-- and in the meantime, dealing with the locks
is a needless hassle. Not only that, the DRM keeps WinVista churning.
No wonder laptops have seriously-reduced battery live vis-a-vis WinXP!
and this one:
Referring to the chart, those are the ones that Microsoft KNOWS about
but may or may not fix, and in their own good time. With that metric
on the graph I suspect that the VISTA column will blow off the top of
the chart.
Comparing vulns between an OS that keeps MOST of theirs secret and
FOSS distros which make public ALL of their vulns is a disjoint from
the beginning. And, Jeff, unless you have access to Microsoft's
internal bug database your graph represent ONLY the ones Microsoft is
willing to tell the world about. Given their past behavior they are
NOT trustworthy.
However, I understand where you are coming from. IF you told the truth
you'd have to look for another job.
See fool, even when you cite some reference you still manage to make
an ass of yourself. Better luck next time.
