here goes some bad Function driven algorithms.

Um, but lets jut review this... the crackers are a equal amount of
people dedicated to the simple or diffucult challenge of breaking
systems. The amount of crackers [c] will not grow or diminish depending
on operating system utilisiation


Now lets look at a good open and available network, the internet, of
which the best source for stats on machine utilisation is netcraft.
Accordingly it suggests that MS holds less than 20% utilisation of
always on hosts. So Im discounting PCs and Home computers im just
looking for open targets that have been around for a period of time.

So Unix [u] and Micosoft [m] share the internet about 80/20.

Now U has actually been running the net and delivering services for a
longer time than M so lets adjust the percentage ... okay how to do
this. lets say the net has been online for about 20 years of which M has
used only 1/4 of that time. 


so now we have 95% U and 5%m where c can write and attack the net.

So wheres all the Really bad nasty damaging annoying continual network
crippling Viruses ? And how come if M comprises 5% of the net it results
in 80% utilisation of news media and interuptions ?

just my two pence... and actually its a article SCRIBBED from work done
by Eddie Bleasedale at Netprojects.
