Isn't it strange how the number of Microsoft patches is almost (if not already) up in the MILLIONS range, but as soon as a single Linux flaw comes out it's hyped up as making Linux as insecure as Windows?
At least the makers of Linux don't leave several user accounts on your system, as well has half a dozen backdoors and various tracing programs. Not to mention bad filesystem security in the Home version of XP.
MS is like an ego-ridden guy; all bark but no bite. They keep claiming that their OS is *more* secure than Linux, but, to be perfectly honest, the number of flaws released that have contraried this is ridiculous.
