Comment Re:is the safest, most reliable OS we've ever buil (Score 1) 1010

Does BSD do everything that Vista does? Those systems are so locked down that it affects their capabilities. I'm not saying it's bad, but I don't think you can compare BSD to Vista without starting by saying that BSD doesn't do alot of the important things that Vista users take for granted.

You may be true although OpenBSD makes a decent desktop (beside server), at least for me. (Even with more security measures than enforced by default.) On the other hand, if you look at the article, Kevin Turner is quoted like the following: "It's also the most secure OS on the planet, including Linux and open source and Apple Leopard. It's the safest and most secure OS on the planet today."

Your comment is like saying that an Abrams Tank is more secure than a Mustang.

I don't like car analogies but well this is /. :-) When you actually look at your analogy you will notice that you made a separation (Tanks vs. actual cars) while Kevin Turner made none between Operating systems (e.g. desktop OS). So why did you? Besides OpenBSD (Have a look at the list of security features: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBSD_security_features) and other very secure UNIX(-like) operating systems there is also Integrity 178B (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTEGRITY-178B). There was an article about it on slashdot some time ago and although I am no big fan of the NSA EAL rating, INTEGRITY 178B is rated EAL6. Probably very hard for Windows Vista SP2 to outperform this OS security wise.
