Hey Tac, take some advice from someone whose gotten bit by the Utilizer troll: don’t feed it. He/she absolutely thrives on these sorts of bloody threads and is known around FR as a Linux troll.
Bottom line, he/she posts Microsoft bad press and then tries to win adherents to Linux by espousing its virtues. Microsoft is the biggest dog in town and is going to take flak from all sides on all things. I personally use Linux in both my home lab and in my corporate life, but I can tell you personally, esp. having to work around PCI, SSAE16, and a raft of audits, Linux is just as susceptible to vulnerabilities as Microsoft. Those vulnerabilities, while often similar, seldom mirror those affecting Microsoft.
Different sides of the same coin. Browse smart, people.
At worst, it's misinformation of lies by omission that could cause a non-technical lurker to believe that changing to Linux would render them immune to this kind of malware, and end up costing them dearly.
