Comments on: Why Linux is better than Windows, Reason # 443 https://gregladen.com/blog/2009/04/12/why-linux-is-better-than-windo/ Mon, 13 Apr 2009 12:09:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.8 By: Stu https://gregladen.com/blog/2009/04/12/why-linux-is-better-than-windo/#comment-534019 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 12:09:05 +0000 http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2009/04/12/why-linux-is-better-than-windo/#comment-534019 This is a recently added feature in Windows, nothing more than a kludge.

Sessions and logins have been a kernel-level feature since NT 3.1 (1993) on the business side and since Windows 2000 on the consumer side.

True, Vista, at least on this front, tries to be mindful, but at the expense of a great crap burden.

To be fair, the login manager does warn you of the security implications.

See link above.

This must have something to do with HTTPS, since Apache far and away does a better job of handling it than IIS.” I’ve seen that before, with a different caption, something along the lines of “dont worryz i fixes it”. If you happen to know where to get the source image, sans caption, I’d love to have it as my wallpaper.
