into an operating system and viruses/worms/
malware/trojans and spyware come in from
outside sources it is amazing how insecure
it makes an Operating System.
Say what you will, Linux distro's power the
Internet with Bind (dns), dhcp, routers/switches
and they do not have constant issues and Linux
distro's are the MOST widely used on the earth
as far as the Internet Backbone to ISP's
for DNS...
The inherit security of a Linux distro makes
it far easier to lock down with the mechanism's
in place than some closed source 10G operating
system that has a web_browser that has to
be ran in 'secure mode' because it is part
of the CORE OS!
