Bruce Almighty: Schneier preaches to Linux newbs

mr sanjeev writes: In this interview Bruce Schneier has bagged out Microsoft for its insecurity, but has not said anything positive in particular about Linux and open source software. "The most important thing Linux has done to improve security is to be competition for Windows. Monopolies are complacent, and by being an alternative, Linux forces Microsoft to improve its own operating system." He also says that the largest cyber-threats to freedom and privacy in the future will come from Government and criminals. "Both are large threats, in different ways. The latter is more tactical; the former is more serious and more long term." http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;1891124482;pp;1
