The Scene:
A delivery room, where some bed-hopping slut has just borne the
demon spawn of her most recent DangerAsshole...
Doctor: ...and for the Birth Certicate,...who is the father?
BHS: (thiking to herself....I can't name the real one....not
only is he a chronic loser, but he's just been sent to the state
penitentiary for the next 15 years)....wha?
Doctor: Miss....who is the father?
BHS: Donovan Rebbechi.
Congratulations, Donovan...you're the proud father of some some kid
who's mother you've never even seen before....but she's heard your
name somewhere before, and knows you have more money than her
lifelong-criminal DangerAsshole.

The Register isn't known for the accuracy of its headlines. In this case,
the article clearly says that NT had 50+% of the defacements while Win2k
only had 10%. How is that "easer to deface than NT"?
Answer: It's not, but the register likes to generate controversial
headlines.

No, you idiot. That's the internet.
World Wide Web is nothing more than web servers.

While I don't agree with with your experience, even if it were true, lets
think about it for a moment. Even if 1% of the people that own Windows
bought your software. That's still over 2 million copies. If 1% of the
Linux users buy your software, how much is it?

This is proveably false.
