What are you talking about? I suppose Linux is therefore responsibly for all copyright infringment and other criminal activities since the packets might fly through a GNU/Linux box?
You not thinking straight on this at all. If you want to tell me that you want your Free Software mail server to filter out Windows based viruses, then thats one thing. But it is another thing all together to stand on your head and insist that Free Software Desktops are responsible for the replication and plague Windows vernabilities which take place due to extream negligence of IT decision makers for adopting an insecure OS for their desktop standard, and then AGREE to sign a contract which makes the negligent product off the hook for damages they create in their recklessness.
If Linux is anywhere in the loop, then Linux is the cause of viruses spreading. If it's all Windows, then it's the fault and stupidity of the end user. No use arguing otherwise as I've found at work, Linux is always the obvious suspect. You need this sort of logical thinking as a pre-/co-req for the jobs of Prime Minister and President and their cabinets, perhaps CEO's/CIO's as well. Regards Sid.
