Security of Open Source ASP Implementations

[Rick Tomaschuk]

Security is largely political when comparing Linux to Windows. Similar
to the old "world is flat vs round debate" of yore. So long as
development is centralized (Redmond, etc.) the world's data will be
secure. Part of the new world order and such.
