if you have money if you runs a big company why you don't choose solaris or sun or IBM?
so ,you are not so big.then you just selected linux for your server. but if you don't know how to install it and how to configure it and how to do with it. then you can choose windows.. |

I think lenux will be more of a secure Os. Windows isnt very vunerable but i never really liked windows at the start. So linux is my vote.

Windows is the most secure by far because they are constently fixing bugs because of the many people who target Windows computers. Linux is just sitting there thinking that no one will target open source but one day someone will and Windows will actually turn out to be better as much as I hate to say it.

I really believe that the more popular the os the more likely it is to be hit by hackers. I mean no one really hits the mac os but then again it costs a ton for the mac. so it's not likely that kids really can afford to buy one.

Any OS is secure if it's not connected to the internet.
 (I'm stating the horribley obvious) |

While Windows CAN be secure (with the service packs, firewalls, and all that), I honestly don't consider it that secure. Windows is just used SO much that it's the main targeted OS. Linux has many people fixing it (this could be a good and a bad thing), so they may actually be able to release a bug fix faster than what Microsoft can. Also, I'm sure just about any OS will be hacked or something, it's just Windows would be more of a target. Seeing as Linux is getting popular with web servers, I wouldn't be surprised if they started getting hacked more often. However, overall, I'd say Linux is better.

well let see my IT Master idea:
"At the beggining windows company started to have better user interface than the others , as you can see most users are familiar with it, but windows didn't start it from the base, but linux tried on security at the first then went on user interface " what's your idea? |

Linux is about being secure, but if a user is running it whilst being the admin root they will be less secure. FreeBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X and those other operating systems like that were also made to be secure.
Windows was more about being made to be user friendly than secure and that is why it is so insecure. Windows Vista will be an improvement when it comes to security, but not enough of one I expect. |

QUOTE(kraam @ Aug 8 2005, 01:23 PM) I think lenux will be more of a secure Os...  I agree any flavour of Linux is more secure than Windows. QUOTE Windows isnt very vunerable . LOL  Now we have to redefine Vulnerability. Anyways, The Linux Kernel based OS are more secure than Windows. And with some proper configuration they are virtually unbreakable. |
