It's a curious phenomena, but I've noticed that most of the warnings about Microsoft and PC problems posted here in the Cafe seem to come from Apple users and Linux users. As Spock would say, "interesting".
Well, as a
Mac and
UNIX user I was baited into responding to that. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I have posted a goodly number of security alerts related to the latest virus or worm clogging up internet transport or affecting computer security. The fact that these have MOSTLY (but not all) been MS related is solely due to the fact that MS software was usually the target.
I have no control over that.
I have had numerous people here at CPF thank me for the timely notices.
If 'management' has a problem with that, please let me know directly, and we can discuss which is more valuable: Rapid notification or after-the-fact cleanup.
If there is some way to more evenly balance the
Microsoft vs
Other OS alert frequency, I would be eager to hear that, too.
