Package: www.debian.org
Version: N/A; reported 2005-03-09
Severity: normal
The page http://www.debian.org/intro/why_debian contains a
paragraph labelled "Good system security" which begins
"Windows 95 has essentially no security." True, but
mentioning Windows 95 first makes it seem rather dated
(someone may conclude that the arguments are no longer
relevant because they're talking about a 10-year-old OS).
Can this paragraph be updated?

I've rewritte the paragraph, emphasizing Debian's stengths, rather than
bashing Microsoft (which imo makes us look bad).
The changes shoudl be online in a few hours.
Thanks for reporting this!.
