One thing that I have noticed is that a lot of people complain that
Internet Explorer has a lot of updates for security holes. People tend
to complain about them a lot, but what I don't understand is that
Fire Fox has had quite a few security holes so they have released
updates to patch them, but people sing and dance when they have a new
release.
Is this not what Microsoft does? Why is it because
a program is open source it is automatically better and can exist
without updates, but if there is one who cares. We live in a world of
stupid double standards in the fact that Microsoft is persecuted by
people because of security updates that because they care they fix. Yet
people celebrate when open source releases an update.
Also
that leads me to another point. I hear a lot of people say that you
should use open source software because it is better. There are less
problems, and bugs. Things of that nature. What I find truly
interesting is that the most popular open source product on the market
today has had some of the worst security problems in the browser
market. Hmm lets think about that. It does go to show that the more
popular something becomes the more it is targeted so maybe Microsoft
isn't that bad after all. Hmmm.
