I have produced a new article which talks about the PR problems facing
Microsoft Windows Vista. It says:

"Microsoft has a serious problem with the blogosphere which seems
instinctively hostile to the company, a problem that does not seem to
face Apple or publishers of Linux. The blogosphere’s hostility goes
hand in hand with how popular culture sees Microsoft, for example Bill
Gates gets shot by a top officer in the US Army in South Park because
Windows 98 becomes unstable. People like the fact that Windows comes on
commodity PCs from a variety of manufacturers and lets them have the
peace of mind that they will be able to run all the software everyone
else is running. Scratch below the surface, though, and a very large
number of Windows users find the system a pain they’d love to be shut
of."

It's an article about WSUS and how great it is compared to equivalents
in RedHat and Novell. I'm a Windows admin but have worked with Linux
in the past. Updating software is where Linux is always going...

Well, it's a story dated 11/22/2006, but that doesn't change the fact
that it's old news. As if The Register is a legitimate "news" source

Trust is best gained by observation.

A community reinforces trust!

Linux is certainly up to the task on my server. We receive a
helacious amount of spam, most of it chucked in the bit bucket
by procmail. As most of this email is being sent to my server
directly from malware infected Windows systems, there is not
much any other Linux system can do to prevent the wasteful
hijacking of my bandwidth.

So yes, linux can clean up most of the mess made by malware infected
windows spam zombies... I just wish it did not have to.
