From another forum:
 
quote:Q: Is unix more stable?

It's not 'more stable' so much as it's not as much of a target as Windows machines.

Root kits were born on Unix. And if I get a root kit installed kernel mode on your network, I own your network. Not the box, the entire domain. You can't tell the kit is there, and you can't tell how many machines a hacker has propegated the kit to. So, if I decided to take a server, and use it for FTP warez, I'd first use the root kit to take a workstation somewhere else on the domain, and when the performance, lack of disk space are noticed, and the server is formatted, you just root it again from the workstation.

Is Internet Explorer a good browser? Why doesnt everybody use Firefox?
Well because Windows contains many games on the whole it is a fun operating system. Many people avoid Linux because there games wont run on it. However you can get software like WineX.

My answer was as relevant as theres.
