Linux is not at all secure and poses a major security risk.

- And the 100's of patches for MS are so much better?

Linux is not cheap. Despite being free, it actually costs more to implement and maintain.

- What about overpriced MS software? All the techs to install the 100's of patches? Ill ask my Network Admin how many patches a week he has to install :)

Linux is prone to hackers and viruses, because the code is easily available.

- How many viruses a week target IE or MS? How many times have they gone public with "We will secure our software", how long will this take?

Linus Torvalds didn't write Linux; it is in fact a compendium of old code that was cobbled together.

- Still in court I believe, besides MS didnt write original OS they sold.

MS does amuse me at least :)
