Oh, no doubt.  But they will find it considerably more difficult to go
up against people like Cox and de Raadt, who actually fix problems in a
timely manner, rather than denying them in press releases and quietly
releasing broken patches weeks or months or years later.

We're getting off-track here, but your experience is, at best, many
years out of date. And you might have noticed that even when problems
are fixed in the kernel the fixes often don't make it out to
distributions for a while.

And by "Don't run Windows" you meant "Run some UNIX variant"? Not Mac?
Plan 9? AmigaOS?
