linux versus windows

The age old arguments...pc v macwindows v linux and othersiis v apacheIts all the same argument...it boils down to simple arguments and some are ones of policy:1/. Economic reasons2/. Logistical reasons3/. Use of use4/. Knowledge5/. Preferences (the most important)6/. security (not eery one understands how things work, and are not able to get or obtain or afford to get the right expertise to set up various items of software7/. lack of awareness of security and how vulnerable they are or notAnd I am sure that there are many other valid reasons besides the ones focused on here.As I said, I do not profess to know the products, I use IIS - its available, its user friendly, and I have tried to use apache but I am not able to get past the idea of running the "welcome to apache" web page. I do not have the expertise available to me to do it...And before you think I know nothing I worked in computer for 6 years, and so I think I know how to turn them on and off... and I am now studying law.My priorities changed from which os, which web server and what anti-virus to use...Where there is will, there is ALWAYS a way to bypass ANY security. If man made it, man can break it... it requires time and effort, and perseverance and it can be done.So arguments about security are genuinely futile, and we can only endeavour to try our best to be secure against attack and have good service management, problem management, change management, and back up strategies in place.
