Linux does not use virus attacks to talk about things and adopt a quiet strategy

Article title: Linux does not use virus attacks to talk about things and adopts a strategy of hard work. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
　　
　　
The attack of the "shock wave" and the SoBig virus has damaged many computers and caused many discussions, making computer security a hot topic.
　　
People have noticed something that is easy to ignore, that is, the reaction of the Linux community to this issue. IBM, Red Hat, and other companies are calling for attention to the security performance of their products.
　　
Oracle and Sun are well-known for their long-standing ads that pick up flaws in their competitor products. However, when people accuse Microsoft of Windows security, where are open source software group advertisements? Where are the indecisive little penguins?
　　
John Pescatore, vice president of Internet security at Gartner, said the open-source software group has not yet learned how to sell it relentlessly. However, every time Microsoft encounters such a problem, it will help Linux a lot.
　　
In some aspects, Linux does need help. Although Unix is dominant in the server field, Linux is not a competitor in terms of desktop computers. According to the latest data from Forrester Research, Linux accounts for only 0.2% of the desktop market, while Windows accounts for 96 of the market. The remaining market share is owned by Apple computers.
　　
Ted Schadler of Forrester Research said that if you are a virus author, Linux attacks against desktop computers are not worth boasting. The second reason Linux groups have not responded is that they believe that the weakness of their competitors is not good. In addition, the third reason why Linux does not publicize the security performance of its products is that they do not know how much security advantage their products have.
　　
IDC analyst Charles Kolodgy believes that product security is inversely proportional to the product's position in the market. If Linux accounts for 50% of the market, linux security vulnerabilities will be exposed.
　　
This situation makes the Linux group a bit difficult. The Linux community can't wait to expand the desktop market and continue to expand its share in the server market. Even if Linux is not as secure as Windows, Linux is superior to Windows. This advantage is that it can be quickly repaired and cost-effective, so virus hazards can be easily controlled.
　　
For the time being, the marketing strategy of Linux is: the emperor wants to convince his subjects that he is actually wearing clothes. it is best not to let people see the Emperor.
