Could Linux Become The Dominant Os?
According to the author's opinion, the answer is yes (he's a lawyer, from what I can tell).

Personally I think Linux could

Symantec: Windows Is Most Secure Os
[quote]Symantec: Windows is Most Secure OS hackers.jpgIn a report that surprises even the PC lovers around here (read: me), Symantec has listed Microsoft Windows as the most secure OS out there. They claim that Windows had the fewest number of patches and the shortest patch development time of any OS, including Mac, Red Hat Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX (any HP-UX fanboys in the house?). So what in the hell is going on? We've been spoon-fed all this data that says Windows is about as secure as

Ok here is a challenge to all the hardcore linux folks out there. I will greatly accept the switch if it can be proven that Games will run as good under linux as they do under windows. Im a windows guy at heart, but I do work on unix systems at work. Im a gamer, and that will never change. I had switched over to linux about 4 years ago, and I couldnt play crap on linux without dual booting to windows.

Different operating systems. Different styles. But what if the quirks and styles of the different operating systems were applied to AIRLINES? What if airlines ran things the way operating systems do?

Linux is in great danger at the moment. That danger started when Microsoft cut their deal with Novell. Many open source advocates recognized this and there was a hue and cry over it. This furor has died down to a large extent and apathy has set in. To combat this the Free Software Foundation brought out their GPLv3 but this seems to be too little too late.

Take your better decision. Windows is good to play and for the ones that pleases them to sacrifice the power by the facility. On the other hand linux is for all those that pleases them to learn and to obtain the greater power of its computer.
