CERT confirms it...Windows is more secure!
I've been saying for years that Windows is as secure as Linux/Unix and the day would come when it was more secure. That day is here. According to CERT, Linux/Unix has more flaws than Windows. In 2005, there were 812 vulnerabilities reported for Windows, but 2, 328 for Unix/Linux. Read the entire report. However, Windows is still more likely to be infected just because of the huge install base, it's a better target for malware authors. What should you do? Always install patches when they become available and run anti malware software.
