So, what do you suggest ?
Do you really think that the Windows world is more suitable to business implementations ?
Well, if you have a massive support team busy following all the viruses, all the users complaints, all the Technet "pseudo-solutions", etc..., perhaps it is...
At least, here, we have already a solution... How many hours (or days) did you personnaly suffer from the I Love You virus ?
Did you see the code of this virus ? Do you know that it was so easy that even a 10 year old child could have been able to write this !
Perhaps is it more funny for 15 year olds to write viruses for Windows rather than following the mailing lists concerning Linux ;-)
More seriously, I don't think there's ONE good solution. But I'm certain Computer Science IS the business of "a whole team of professionnal". And an entire network can't be correctly managed by a few untrained people.
Moreover, I'm persuaded than following the security problems, the patches, the bugs, the evolutions, etc... is a great and interesting part of the job in IT. And, more important, it is necessary, whatever soft you're using. If you don't do this personnally or internally, at least you should have this done by someone else.
Computers don't run without problems, whatever OS is running... Bug-free softs don't exists, nowhere. And security problems are occuring since IT exists, and will continue to occur, whatever OS is used. Rather than complaining about these facts, why not finding long-term solutions and building an internal (or partly external, relying on competent external companies for example) IT department capable of following, anticipating and handling those problems efficiently ?
Sure it costs money, but remeber that all the business rely on IT. Everywhere. So that should normally be the first part of the budget... I personnaly still wonder why everyone seems to be persuaded that computers run alone without problems and that the IT department can be made of a few untrained guys with a very little budget. Why is the commercial department (for example) bigger than the IT one ? Same for the budgets ?
If someone has an answer, I'll be glad to discuss it.
