This is the key sentence and the reason for the article...coming from Symantec, it's understandable. They are interested in fighting OSS as far and wide as Microsoft is. FUD FUD FUD.

EXACTLY...not only is Symantec married to Windows, but they are also feeling the threat from an OS where people (meaning the userbase as a whole, not necessarily YOU) can fix things on their own.

Or the fact that the OS has less vulnerability from viruses and spyware ... which is the bread and butter of Symantec anyway.
