The discussion centers around the challenges faced by a user dealing with SpyAxe, a problematic antispyware program that has rendered Internet Explorer (IE) unusable. The user sought help to uninstall SpyAxe, which led to a solution involving specific uninstallers provided by the company. The conversation then shifts to broader topics regarding browser security, with several participants recommending alternatives to IE, such as Opera and Firefox, citing their enhanced security features and better handling of spyware. There is a debate on the security vulnerabilities of Windows and IE, with some arguing that the popularity of these platforms makes them prime targets for malware. The discussion touches on user responsibility in maintaining security and the need for better education on safe browsing practices. Participants also express differing opinions on the usability of Linux and its suitability for less tech-savvy users, highlighting the need for a balance between security and user-friendliness in operating systems. Overall, the thread emphasizes the importance of using secure browsers and being proactive in protecting against spyware.

This is what separates a commercial UNIX or at least a UNIX that has it's roots in the commercial sector from something like FreeBSD or Linux. Sun and IBM, both, offer support (with a contract) for their UNIXes -- Solaris and AIX, and thousands upon thousands of pages of documentation are available -- everything from user guides, to administration manuals, to portability guides for developers.
Solaris 10 docs: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/solaris.10
AIX 5.3 docs: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoc...bm.aix.doc/infocenter/base/aixinformation.htm


I like Solaris, to an extent, however there are few OSs that would give me more control than Slackware. Absolute control over my system and everything it does is nice. My primary gripe(although I have many others) against windows is the lack of control, a problem that is only going to grow as MS moves to TC rather than fixing their problems. So basically, I'm a control freak when it comes to my computers.

And as for your comments about Linux in enterprise, tell that to IBM.
