I recieve these CERT Advisories.

I would like to see this groups research in detail. What types of advisories were listed? How severe were they? etc.

I'd like to see some details too.

The vast majority of viruses and worms are transmitted by e-mail. Yes, servers are vulnerable from attack directly, so lets see the security comparison between the two servers, under direct attack.

Linux and Windows servers may be just as vulnerable on the system level (although I doubt it), but the huge doorway into the organization is Outlook. It doesn't matter how secure your front door is, when you've got the garage door wide open and every kid in the neighborhood can wander in.
