Security in computers are there forever

Name: Anonymous 2005-08-15 2:49

No matter how tight the security of software is, vulnerabilities will be found to be exploited. Because the software is made by humans and humans make mistake, something will always be left to be exploited. It just takes enough will and dedication.

So sometimes I think the reason why Windows had more viruses than like Macs or how IE had more problems than Firefox other than shitty coding is because every hacker finds its a prime target because everyone uses it.

If lets say everyone used Linux and Firefox, I am pretty sure there might loads of virus and exploits occuring on them too (though Im sure not as much as Microsft's products).

That's why the Mac is a beautiful piece of work that many artists use for their niche graphical/audio programs. Does the rest of the world want it? No.

The point I tried to make was that there are many many many reasons why Windows has always failed in terms of superuser permissions, and the userbase has no one to blame but itself. Blaming Microsoft for insecurity is like blaming your government for not being democratic: it's that way because you wanted it that way, and you're getting it that way. Take a glance at some MS security forums; they revel in it. Microsoft is very similar to the current state of American politics, really. Their underlying framework may be a complete tower of shit with golden doors, but they're fucking raking it in.
