"Anyone who runs both of these OS's, Like MYSELF and several other professionals that have posted in this thread who definitely have fought these battles on a day to day basis and I have had one Linux box compromised in my whole career, but you almost can't keep the crud out of any Windows box without constant care, attention, 3 security scanners, update weekly or even daily, it just goes on."

Your claims are in direct conflict with the findings of this test.
Trouble is, I see boasts like yours about how "rock solid" the security of Linux is everyday at slashdot, without an iota of proof to back it up.
One thing everyone knows, the open source crazies lie through their teeth every single day with their boasts about so-called "rock solid" Firefox or Linux security, and how they never had a single security breach , or in your case just one security breach (yeah right) in their entire lives,, something that is not supported by the facts in real life.
I have posted a few threads on the huge security holes found in both Linux and Firefox on this board, only to have the same open source crazies who used to scream about "rock solid" security in Firefox and Linux, baxckpedal at great speed and claim they never said open source was super secure in the first place.
You just keep getting funnier by the minute.

That's because he has real computers running real software in a real networked environment. He's not just making up theoretical installs and counting security notices like these people did. Of course there would be conflicts.
