Keeping Windows Secure: A Difficult Task

,----[ Quote ]
| Then We Have Linux. When it comes to software updates, popular Linux 
| distributions cannot be touched with respect to keeping the applications 
| up-to-date. Any worthwhile distribution provides some method of keeping the 
| system updated, in addition to the software installed on it.   
| 
| The beauty of this is the lack of third-party software to make this happen. 
| Because most of the software the user is going to use will be provided from 
| included software repositories, the ease of keeping the entire system 
| up-to-date goes unmatched for an out-of-the-box OS install.
