"BUT (Big BUT) If it weren't one of the most used OS'es on the planet, and Linux (or BeOS, or any other for that matter) was, we'd begin to see people switch from exploiting windows to exploiting whatever else was popular."

That's true, to a point. Windows is an inherently insecure operating system, security holes aside. It's not possible to secure Windows without severely crippling it. You can do that on Linux, and others, just fine.

Anyway who has even the slightest clue should understand this by now.
