Tuesday, a fast moving computer worm attacked systems using Microsoft operating systems, shutting down computers in the US, Germany and Asia. But the good news comes from our own FBI:
The FBI said the computer problems did not appear to be part of any widespread attack.Uhhh...the attacks are all over the globe, but they are not widespread. Then just what, exactly, qualifies as widespread??
When will you people learn? You pay confiscatory prices for Microsoft's mediocre products, THEN you have to spend a bunch of money to buy other software to protect your system, and hope it all works so you can keep using it.
The time to move to Linux-based operating system is NOW. There are plenty of free programs available that will perform the tasks 97% of computer users need.
Search any of these operating systems: Mepis, Knoppix, PCLinuxOS, Ark Linux, Yoper or SymphonyOS. Sure there's a slight learning curve, but they have friendly, helpful user forums to guide you through the growing pains. The cool thing is, you can install them right along with Windows (some don't even need to be installed...you can use it and learn it right off the CD!!). So, you can continue to use Windows as you get up to speed on Linux.
Soon you'll see why Penguins rule!
