Nope, that is wrong.
Please don't let's feed the trolls anymore, Ms. Walsh is clearly not interested in a discussion here. If she were she'd respond when she's called on her mistakes, instead she just continues on her wishful thinking crusade about what windows can do in an ideal world.
So let's kill the thread, ok?
I read this thread with great amusement (as I am so very happy that after years of computer-related frustration I finally found my way to Linux), but I also learn a lot here. It's very interesting, at least for people like me, actually coming from the M$-space, really having that kind of security view, really trying to understand something. And although it's kind of a joke, of course, when Linda promotes the "security" of Win, at least I receive the impression that she's not stupid at all, maybe delibiberately provoking. So I don't see any reason to flame her... As I still haven't really understood, why there should not be a tool that would warn me if ET wants to call home. I'll follow this thread with interest and joy as long as it exists. Especially because I am not so sure that I always really know what I install here, cannot check a source-code, don't even know, how I can distinguish "good" from "bad" software... So please go on and feed us with more controversial info. Thanks!
