Redhat Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 I think you've misunderstood ;) i was making a point that MS never seem to detail the vulnerability much, just give a very vague and bland description. After being involved with GAV, I know every software has it's bugs, so I'm sorry but you got the wrong end o'stick :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhat Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 And with Linux being opensource, yup, but that means the vulnerabilities can be found quicker IMO. And yes, Windows is more widely used, one word : PREINSTALLED :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
