Hey,

• I take it you missed all my posts where I said I never use SmartPhones, iPads, Tablets, or the tapped webcams and microphones built into devices?
• I take it you think I prefer online transactions to cash, are you serious?

Give it up, for god sake, you're preaching to the choir with that lot!
I'm the last person you need to say that sort of stuff to, I own none of that crap and never will :-D

I can't make it any clearer than I already did, my point is that while we can choose to do things the way we want to right now (most of the time), those days are coming to an end, and when they do, you will not be able to do things the way you are doing them now.  But you're right, what I said is my opinion, but equally so, the same is true for your own opinion.

Neither of our opinions will change the fact that there are Debian users out there who cringe at the very thought of a commercial OS, and there are Windows users who cringe at the thought of using Debian.  At the end of the day, the proof of what is the safer option to have in your life, will ultimately come when the first of the Commercial OS's user-data gets compromised.  So basically, the one that keeps it's data secured the longest, wins, fair enough?

But you see what I did there?

You'll never see the user-data from Debian getting compromised, it's impossible because Debain have no user-data to compromise.
So may the best OS win, let the battle commence!

God, I love my Debian :-D
