Comment Are homogeneuous systems secure? (Score 1) 197
I wonder why it is a good idea to standardize systems with respect to security.
If we have a look at the virus and worm problems that we were encountering during the last months, it should be pretty obvious that homogeneuous systems are more vulnerable in some way than heterogeneuous ones. This is a fact which can be learned from biology.
Considering this, it is questionable if the crucial parts of an operating system should behave in a standardized way.
