Windows more secure than Linux

In other words, post something from a biased Linux website like Slashdot or The Register. I'll post articles from Microsoft's website if I think they have merit.

Actually, not quite.
I mean like the links TheQuirk just posted.
You know, trusted newspapers, like the Washington Post or trusted enews sites like news.com

Look dumb ass XP Luser. The numbers in that study have been proven to be bull shit, and it isn't hard to figure out that if the four top Linux distros have the same 25 vulnerabilities you can't add them together and say Linux has 100 vulnerabilities. Duh! And in fact none of the vulnerabilities are "OS" related. They are from applications that you don't get with M$ OSes and have to get them separately. Some of them I can download and run on M$ in which case, should have been counted as another vulnerability for M$.

Great point. It is like this: last week 30 seperate Linux distros anounced a vulnerability in bind, now smart people realize that makes one vulnerability total, but vnunet would prolly say 'Linux has 30 new vulnerabilities this week'.
