Web Server and Browser Security: Microsoft vs Open-Source
Apr 17th
I know that this subject has been dragged out over and over but every one that does seems to be bias of one side or the other. Personally I prefer using open source servers and browsers; Firefox, Apache, and PHP; over Microsofts offering. My reasons for this are varied. I use Firefox because it is more secure than Internet Explorer and more customizable, and I use Apache/PHP because I am more familiar with it and I can also get make use of it’s advanced features on home and workstation versions of Windows. I also prefer FreeBSD over Linux because of being familiar. But how secure is all of this software. The results might or might not suprise most people.
