Right, but that's besides the point.  Again, I emphasize that I am not
advocating the use of Windoze.  I wouldn't be using Linux if I was
convinced that Windoze was a more secure OS, would I?  I've seen a
couple of reviews on the upcoming Windows Vista, and it seems like
they're modeling it after Linux in some ways.

If your talking about remote X, it does have its limitations.  Linux, in
its strictest sense, is only an operating system.  Having said so, X is
an addon to Linux - It's not part of it.  I'm sure that U command line
advocates would strongly agree that Linux doesn't require X to run. 

My initial assertion was an answer to whether the "Aaron Konstam
miracles" are possible on Windoze, and I said yes.  It's plain and simple.

Yes, and more often than not, it is more accurate to simply take my
words literally rather than try to read between the lines, as my words
contain no special hidden meaning.
