The first line of the article says it all:

| I'm more secure on Linux than I am on Windows. Yup, that's right. I
| have no doubt whatsoever that I am.

He should have said far more secure of course. The simple fact is any
OS currently available is more secure than Windows. Now the question
is: why is that? Why can't Microsoft develop an OS that has comparable
security to other OS's? That's a rhetorical question for the trolls.
