I run XPlite for one. That in itself makes Windows more secure. Secondly, I'm already in the habit of doing a fresh re-install about every month, so I don't care much of my system happens to get a virus or what ever. I'm just going to format anyway. And besides, most of my Machines don't even run windows, and the majority of the stuff I download can't be infected by it anyhow.

This is one of the worst threads in Amiga.org history!

Back in the day we discussed ways in which we could crash Windows users over IRC...

...now this?!? :)

I wonder if people here have considered how many vulnerabilities would be found in the TCP/IP stacks for AmigaOS/MorphOS if they were subjected to the same amount of scrutiny that the main players are?

Security through obscurity provides a little bit of protection in the real world, but not very much.

But Amiga/Morph/ etc. are so far underground at this point that nobody is going to be bored enough to write up virus' and exploits for our beloved OS. That's our winning edge. :)
