I don't understand fanbois of any colour. Operating systems are just 
tools, you use the one that meets your needs. In in 40 odd years as an 
IT professional, I've used all of them and a few that you've probably 
not encountered, they all had their place. No professional that I have 
ever worked with was a fanboi, that is the province of the ignorant and 
the amateur.

I have been using windows on the internet for 20 years or more and have 
yet to have a security problem
