[NTLUG:Discuss] Washington Post article

[MontyS@videopost.com]

Although the pushy nature of Microsoft, as displayed in this article, is
very disturbing, what disturbes me more is the following statement:

"I have never seen a systematic study that showed open source to be more
secure."  WHAT?  This is coming from a professor of 
computer science at Georgetown University?  Apparently, she has spent too
much time in front of the lecturn, and too little time in front
of the computer screen!!!

I guess that is just her opinion...

And she is actually teaching computer science courses?!  Hopefully nothing
above Computer Security 101.
