He does that when he starts getting answers he doesn't like.
It was the same with "Who REALLY does serious work on a linux computer?"
(note.... he reposted that question DOZENS of times, rejecting every single
answer given).

When people pointed out that linux ran most of the worldwideweb and in fact,
a heck of a lot of the rest of the internet, he rejected that saying he
meant only desktop. When people said disney/pixar and other high end
animation houses used linux for their number crunching and graphical work,
he rejected that until every suggestion had been rejected and serious work
was redefined as "using microsoft office".

He's doing the same with his "naked linux computer". What does that mean?
Linux comes with a fully functional firewall built into the very kernel, so
that means it's already many steps ahead of windows, network security-wise.

Will he next say that all firewalls have to be configured to be fully open
on linux to make the comparison fair?

Well that's what I meant; Linux without TP s/w. So quit putting words
into my mouth. Make the comparison now: are they tied or not?

And go to school.

Why would you want to compare a NON-TYPICAL install of Linux to one of a
secured install of Windows?

Every distro, major, comes with inbound connections blocked for
worsktations, the same is not true for all versions of Windows XP....
