Well, the original link is dead (figures..) so I can't read the article, but
I *do* think I know the mentioned Ilja - at least by reputation - in which
case I would be a bit careful about dismissing his comments as FUD off-hand. 
He's not such a devoted Linux user to begin with, IIRC.
While Ilja undeniably has a "rather un-subtle" approach to things, his 
observations usually remain valid, and he might actually be onto something.
He has a strong reputation of a security expert, at least here in the
Netherlands.

Now, if only I knew *what* he is onto :D
