atw: Re: O.T. "Reliance on Microsoft a threat to security: experts"

Craig,
Any monopoly has nasty economic effects on its consumer market.

My comment was about the fact that we had one writer commenting on how 
wonderful another writer's comment on other etc .. without any intelligent 
independent analysis being performed by either of the latter writers.

  To me, the article (at
  http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/09/25/1064083097573.html) seemed very
  sensible.

  I believe that Microsoft software often _is_ wasteful, but I doubt the
  reasons and figures stated by the article. 

  Brian (Clarke) wrote about the article:
  BC> What a load of old cobblers! 

  Brian, isn't it true that _any_ technology monopoly tends to cause security
  breaches to have a wider and therefore more catastrophic effect? 

  Regards,
  Craig
