Again not turning this into a which is better than the other discussion, just saying don't have a false sense of security  |
I totally agree about market share and that the latest versions of Windows are as good as any Linux OS. But don't you think there are a heck of a lot more Windows users that are not properly patched than Mac or Red Hat users? There's still a LOT of IE6 out there. (I am a Mac guy so I am probably biased.)
