Dear **** users,
When MS is no longer the ruler of most systems, YOURS will be next so quit being so smug and self-righteous.
Just because there is no challenge to tear your systems apart .... yet! does not mean you will escape unscathed.
Like banks using Linux found out - there were HUGE gaping holes there also!
Notice the (past) tense. The holes were (and are) fixed before any major vulnerabilities are used by the bad guys.
that is the major advantage--not that Linux is necessarily more secure all the time, but that the weaknesses are fixed before anyone can take advantage of them.
DISCLAIMER: I know there have been Linux worms and trojans in the past, but (again) those have been fixed much faster than MS ever has.
