Trend Micro: Open source is more secure
http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-6083490.html
We've known this when each and everyone of us started using open-source...Apparently, we need some "security company" to acknowledge this as well.

"Open source is more secure. Period," Raimund Genes, chief technical officer for anti-malware at Trend, said.
Is this news? Not really. But its kind of odd, isn't it?
On one hand, you have a company like Kaspersky Labs delibrately putting out FUD and statistics that they pulled out of their arse, to scare open-source users...And then you have Trend Micro, acknowledging that open-source is a better way to go, in regards to security. Of course, they end the article with a bit of Microsoft arse kissing.
Quote:
"Microsoft is on the right track. It's now promoting access control, which was introduced by Unix. No one thinks of running Unix in root," Genes said.
No $hit. :rolleyes:
