Hi,
Today I found one of the Best Comedy about M$ Windoze here in
http://www.dinamalar.com/new/fpnnewsdetail.asp?News_id=5113
The climax of comedy is , They are saying in the article that M$ has sold
same softwares for them,also there is no clue regarding taking actions
against them. :-)
There is a myth being spread, deliberately or otherwise that viruses and
spam can be combated by using "original" software. I don't know who got
this crazy notion first but I heard it way too many times. If a virus
exploits vulnerabilities in the software or engages in social
engineering, "original licensed" copies of the same software would have
the exact same problems.
While "piracy" is indeed a problem and I would certainly encourage end
users to abide by licenses for the proprietary software they are using
or better yet, switch to FOSS, the false virus propaganda should really
stop.
