As a Linux newbie I was wondering just how
vulnerable Linux is to viruses.
OK here is something for you guys to think about.
I'm into psychology and anybody who has gotten into Bill Gates head
has gotta be thinking that this "smiling assasin" has to be one of the
most devious and power hungry monsters on the planet. He won't stop
until he controls EVERYTHING and Linux is so user friendly now that
Bill has gotta be pissing in his pants for fear of losing his near
market monopoly of PC software.
So you want to bet me this monster isn't funding anti Linux virus
research as we speak???

I do not agree at all with that link. It was short and sweet. Yet, leaving out
some details.

He fail to say that a Linux virus was created in a lab on purpose and was not
sent out to the world.

Which is more or less the reason some people in the industry are putting
forward as to why Bill is severing his links with Microsoft - they
reckon he has seen the writing on the wall and is getting out while his
stock options are still worth something.

Sour grapes more like. He is like many more successful men and is
finding satisfaction elsewhere. So what.

Anyone who's been around PCs from the gitgo, knows you pegged Gate's
style, just right!

From the intentional boobytrap of not allowing Win 3.1 to run with
DRDOS, to taking IBM for a ride with OS/2, before dumping their
"cooperative effort" to go with NT, to the outright thievery of
Stacker code...Bill Gates and Co. at MonopolySoft have never been
friendly players.
