“Then next to that we have windows virus problem number
gazillion running around the internet.

Forget what I said

be an indication the demise of the windows desktop will be here
soon. So maybe we are not going to have to wait to long for Linux
to grow and be the biggest Desktop OS.

“Fear
Now it’s just going to take the general public to notice the
following, as the criminals and criminal government organizations
get better at their stealing of money and information. The people

devices without fear.”
