--- Quote from: bedouin ---If there was a diversified OS market there would be less viruses and trojans because it would be too difficult to target one population. I'm encouraging that. The whole "OS X, Linux, BSD" is less popular, so it's not compromised as much argument is weak in the first place, but I'll let someone else attack that.

Well I'll attack it myself,
I've heard all the arguments that UNIX (whether it be Linux BSD or OS X) is more/less secure than Windows. The Internet is packed with articles suggesting either case, my personal view is BSD is the most secure operating system around as almost everyone using it knows what their doing. Windows will be the worst as it has the most uneducated userbase, anyone who's made the switch to an alternative will be more educated than the average Windows user. In general security comes down to the user more than anything else.

But this discussion deserves its own thread, instead of clogging this one.

I'm sorry for mentioning the forum rules, indeed it should be against the rules to mention the rules unless the thread is about the rules. One very annoying thing about this forum is that the discussion of the rules seems to crop up too often and hijack threads.
Calum:
good job i haven't posted anything here yet, or we'd have to wade through 3 pages of retaliation flames/spam!
MrX:
BeOS is the most secure OS ever. :beos:
apart from my searching on goolge newsgroups for beos virus and vulnerabilities and such, there was none except for some 3rd party programs having various 'bugs' that could be vulnerabilities but where pacthed long ago. beos has no virus, no spyware, etc just pure BeOS. i rule.

skyman8081:
BeOS also has no users, support or decent applications. It's only use is to say "I use BeOS".
BeOS is dead, get over it.
piratePenguin:
Once/if GNU/Hurd is ready it quite probably will be the most secure OS.
Because it tries to do everything perfectly, and that means using the least amount of privileges possible.
