Dual core, Quad core??

Of course, as the number of users grows, the number of people who read over the code and attempt their own exploits will increase. The good thing is that because the code is open source, more people are able to fix the exploits. The old view was the closed source code was better because less people could exploit it, but this lead to worse actual code being written, so that when people decompiled it they were able to create viruses very easily. With open source, there are going to be more exploits being spotted, but also more being fixed, and the code itself will be better.

A.H. this was pretty much what I was getting at. I know Linux has a great anti-virus software, but just as you stated here: Of course, as the number of users grows, the number of people who read over the code and attempt their own exploits will increase.

Now, I will agree, just as you also stated that they will be able to fix the exploits faster, but you know as well as I do, if it can be fixed, it can be broken....
It was the only reason I mentioned about the amount of users involved in comparison to Windows.

Don't worry brotherman, I'm not knocking on Linux...lolol.....Hell, I'm a computer geek and love it all.....

@ Samson....I've been using windows since 3.1 when all the big programs were run on DOS - back when I was 6 years old

I am too used to windows to change now I think. I don't know why I'd want to change - I love it too much lol hehe. So fucking familar - and it's nostalgic!

Oh, if you want to go old school, that is not a problem. I've used the same and dos was my friend/enemy back in the day....I was around the same age as you when I got my first computer, which was around 1980 .....Just wish I would have had a mouse with it.......LOL

As far as today, I've been part of the same gaming clan since 1999 in a game called Counter-Strike. I'm an Admin and own one out of our 3 servers and one website for this...We try and put together at least 3 Lan games per year... Matter of fact we have our next on July 18th. We usually get a turn out of 80 to 100 people, but we have had as low as 50. (The most to date was 243 ppl)...

Back when we started the group Windows was the current waterfall for users in mass majority, so this was what we went with. And if I remember correctly Half-Life did not have a Mac version for online gaming of CS back during that time. We have simply "Followed the leader" since.
