Do you have any statistics to back this up? I've heard that same statement before, but it's always asserted without evidence or argument. While I'm inclined to believe it based on my experience with other OSes (NT/2000, Solaris, SunOS, OSF/1, Ultrix, MacOS, BSD), I would like to see some proof, if there's proof to be had.
Thanks!
