An Open Letter to a Digital World

This is written by an experienced IT engineer after spending 5 hours clearing spyware, trojans and the like from his wife's Windoze PC:
"It's time for anyone running a Windows PC to switch to Linux.
You see, the Windows platform is not just insecure - it's patently, blatantly, and unashamedly insecure by design and for all the lip service to security it's really not going to get better, ever. To make matters worse, it's more expensive and gives you fewer necessary applications right out of the box than Linux. Everyone, even Microsoft, knows this - they are just too afraid to say it. "

I've made the switch and if I can do it most people probably can. Try Ubuntu .... see column on the side.
