For thirty years people have been saying stupid and meaningless stuff like this. It is garbage. The Windows situation... OBVIOUSLY... would never happen in a Linux evironment although systemd makes a huge step forward to make it possible. It has nothing to do with turing machines and advanced theoretical calculations. It has to do with the more secure Unix level design for Linux based systems and the way decisions are made in Linux development and how updates are run and generated. Does this make Linux perfect.. No. But it gives it a shot. MS makes insecure decisions from the ground up for business decisions. We have spent a lift time watch MS systems doing things they just should be able to do making them rich targets for visues big and small, and malware... things like runnng fucking email as an executable binary and autoruning DVD software etc etc. I can't even begin to discuss what it does to the browser. So please... put your bullshit away. THis was inevitable and it is inevitable to happen again.
