Watch how Linux beats everyone, including Mac OS X (link below). This is
based on recent figures.Bear in mind that disclosure in Linux (even
visibility) seemingly puts it in a position of disadvantage, which means
there's plenty more to be found in Apple's and Microsoft's products. More
exposed (for viewing), yet less exposed to danger.
How secure are Linux, Window and Mac OS?
