   I'd trust it to Linux.   
   Actually that's MS bullshit.   
   The greatest security risk from a laptop is leaving it on a train.   
      
   If its 'mission critical' it doesn't go on a laptop. Period. Or you get

   “It is not the truth of Marxism that explains the willingness of   
   intellectuals to believe it, but the power that it confers on   
   intellectuals, in their attempts to control the world. And since...it is   
   futile to reason someone out of a thing that he was not reasoned into,   
   we can conclude that Marxism owes its remarkable power to survive every   
   criticism to the fact that it is not a truth-directed but a   
   power-directed system of thought.”
