"Windows "more secure" because the constant attacks reveal new holes", says Gates. Alas, his staff don't agree:

Microsoft software architect Chris Anderson, who is working on Longhorn, explained another problem with patches: "Today, virus writers don't find holes," he said, "They just sit back and wait for patches to appear, and then it is a race to write the first virus."

So, ah, which is it?

"To say a system is secure because no one is attacking it is very dangerous," said Gates, referring to operating systems that have a smaller share of the desktop market, such as Apple Mac OS and Linux.

On the other hand, to say a system is secure because people have been finding security exploits on it left and right is PURE GENIUS!

Well, I'm glad my name isn't Chris Anderson.
