@tmsbrdrs Interesting that you read a post directed towards Linux Geek and assumed it was directed towards all Linux users, including yourself. I'm sorry that you cannot tell the difference between a normal person who happens to use Linux, compared to someone like Linux Geek, who constantly spews nonsense about the holy wonders of Linux and the horrible evils of Windows.
Ok, Windows happens to work for me. I also happen to drive a Ford truck. And I like Pepsi better than Coke. So what. Those are my preference. Your preferences may be different. The great thing about the world we live in is that we all have many options to choose from. You can use the OS you prefer, and I can use the OS I prefer. You can drive the vehicle you prefer, and I can drive the one that I prefer.
The "Linux Dork" is someone like Linux Geek, Or DTS Your Linux Advocate. The "Linux Dork" is one who has nothing better to do with his life but spend all day posting stupid crap about how wonderful Linux is, while at the same time making up all kinds of absurd claims about how horrible Windows is.
The only reason I mentioned Loverock Davidson was to point out how Linux Geek is doing the exact same thing here (claiming that this Linux flaw is a "non-issue" because it has been patched) as LD does all the time when he claims that Windows flaws are "non-issues" once they have been patched. I did not claim him as a source of anything. But perhaps in your haste to attack me for being critical of a certain Linux Dork, you overlooked that fact.
Obviously, what it comes down to is that there is a huge double standard here, where every Windows flaw that has ever existed still "counts" against Windows, regardless if it has been patched or not. On the other hand, it is "spreading FUD" to talk about a Linux flaw after it has been patched. It is exactly these double standards that all Linux Dorks depend on to convince themselves of the fantasy they want to believe in. And yes, Mac Fanbois depend on similar double standards in order to support the fantasy world they live in.
Anyone who claims any of the major OSes in the world are impervious to attack is a fool. A modern OS is way too complex to ever be 100% foolproof. As I pointed out in my first post, the reality of it is that the Linux flaws addressed in this article existed in Linux before they were discovered. Just because they hadn't been discovered doesn't mean they did not exist. In the same way, I can guarantee that Linux has still more flaws that have yet to be discovered, but none the less, they do exist. The same is true for Windows, Mac OS, AIX, Solaris, z/OS, and any other OS you can think of.
Whether you want to admit it or not, the reality of the world is that Windows is the most popular OS on the planet. More people use Windows than any other OS. More people know how to write code for Windows. More people understand the inner workings of Windows. More people are interested in hacking into Windows. More people are writing malware for Windows. And, at the end of the day, the bottom line is that more people are going to discover more flaws in Windows than any other OS. You can pretend all you want that the reason Windows gets attacked more is because it is less secure, but that is like me pretending my house is more secure than a bank, because, after all, the bank in my neighborhood has been robbed at least 3 or 4 times in the 20 years I've lived here, while my house has never been robbed once.
So, pretend all you want. Enjoy the fantasy land you live in. Meanwhile, the rest of us will face reality and deal with facts.

The Ubuntu Linux operating system has been refreshed to fix multiple WebKit flaws that expose users to malicious hacker attacks.
