The point is you stated that the only reason linux and Mac aren't compromised as much is because of usage share. I'm proving that that is completely wrong by using the server market as an example, the same principle applies on the desktop, the point is that more common does NOT equate to more compromises.loki wrote:wow, I thought we where talking about desktops, and the point about linux and unix being more secure because of the not running as root thing, that is just training and the point that I am trying to make. Talking about apache is a totally different beast that isn't an OS. Everyone loves to bash Microsoft, I'm not a M$ fanboy by any means but I do look at all OSs without bias, Windows is a damn good OS, so are lots of linux distros and OSX, they all have their ups and downs.
It's a common argument used by MS fans, but it simply isn't true. Correlation does not equal Causation. You're trying to prove that because the most common OS is also the most attacked that it must be one the cause of the other, In fact, even if apple were suddenly to surpass microsoft in market share, I can guarantee you that MS would still have more exploits.
