I expect bugs, but Windows seems to have far more remotely exploitable bugs than any other OS. Sure, Linux has a lot of local DoS and privilage-escalation bugs, but who actually gives people shell access these days?

Currently there are several holes in IE that rogue websites are using to infect Windows systems. When was the last time you heard of any other operating system being infected just by browsing to a website?
