If you say things like this it shows you are fool with no concept of coding practices or the facts about code quality and security. The numbers don't lie and the numbers say Linux has more bugs, are more severe, get handles and fixed slower. The only reason Linux isn't getting beat up like swiss cheese is the fact that it isn't worth the time to hack except on the internet "YET". Hey check out ZONE-H state an see what the percentage of web site defacements are Linux and what portion are Windows based.
