(This post is from my old, old, super old site. My views have changed over the years, hopefully my writing has improved, and there is now more than a handful of folks reading my site. Enjoy.)
I really hate slashdot, but I read it anyway. Looking through some comments today, I came across a <A href=http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=56649&cid=5482638>pretty good quote to cut n' paste:
"Diversity, redundacy. These are the basis of true reliability. Sure, Microsoft (for example) can try to secure the shit out of their next OS, but if everybody uses that one product, one mistake takes everyone out."
