这是cnbeta上今天的一条新闻

Secunia:杀毒软件不安全 Redhat和FireFox漏洞多过微软软件

当然，我等linuxer都知道，这又是一篇软文。原文来自这里：

Secunia: More Red Hat flaws than Microsoft in 2007

ZDNet的妓者显然取了一个非常具有误导性的标题，认真看完这篇文章就知道，Secunia的报告根本没有得出Windows比linux安全，ie比ff安全之类的结论，相反的，Secunia的CTO还在力挺linux:

"It's impossible to make a fair comparison--it's like comparing apples to oranges," Thomas Kristensen, Secunia's chief technology officer, told ZDNet.co.uk. "Red Hat has the highest number of applications included, so the number of vulnerabilities that affect it is bound to be higher."

"Web servers, database servers, archiving tools, office productivity suites--there's two of everything when it comes to Red Hat," said Kristensen. "Windows XP can only be used as a workstation. If you want to run XP as, say, a web server, you have to buy either Microsoft or third-party software."

Kristensen said that third-party software was a key factor affecting the number of vulnerabilities attributed to the respective operating systems. With Red Hat, 99 percent, or 629 of the vulnerabilities, were due to third-party components. With Windows, four percent of flaws were due to third-party software.

可悲的是，这个时代的人们往往阅读一个标题就了事了。ZDNet的妓者显然深谙此道，不过他还算有良心，文章写的四平八稳还算公正，cnbeta的翻译稿纯粹就是断章取义了，用心何在？说他一句没有职业道德一点儿也不过分。

可笑的是，cnbeta的新闻一出，下面就有两方在对骂了，有时间对骂没时间自己去求证一下么？显然，谩骂已经成为国内民众最喜爱的娱乐活动之一。最令人哭笑不得的是，总有人要拿着这种不是证据的新闻当证据，跳到我面前来说，linux不好，firefox不好。我懒得理他懒了999次，今天实在受不了了，发文纪念一下。...
