[Sheflug] Windows: Insecure by design

[Richard Ibbotson <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I've been looking at this stuff since the 1990s.  My original 486 was 
destroyed by a winduhs virus that was rampant on the University of 
Sheffield internal network.  We've come a long way since then but 
Microsoft still insist that winduhs has improved a lot when in fact it's 
still the same pile of crud that it always was.  As it says " But no. 
It's only gotten worse – much worse. "  Which is a fact.

When we started on GNU/Linux back in the 1990's it was a bit of a joke...

I was stood next to Dr Owen le Blanc when he was working on Manchester 
Interim Linux. A group of us started ManLUG at that time - 
www.manlug.org - Owen was in touch with Linux Torvalds by e-mail. The 
fact that we thought we should start and help out with a new operating 
system should tell you how bad the Microsoft product is.  Also Dr John 
Heaton and Dr Clarke and some others. None of us thought that GNU/Linux 
would become popular.  Present day it's a multi-million $$$ industry and 
the desktop is used by millions of people.
