I agree. I am sooo tired of the "linux is more secure than windoze" argument. They both have vulns. They both get rooted daily. And linux is much harder to manage in an enterprise (look and .gov and .mil ip space-- it's huge!), so it would probably create more issues than it would solve.

Have you ever considered that the reason there are so many microsoft vulns is because there are so many microsoft users? I'd bet money that if the user base for *nix was as large as that of windoze, we'd see alot more vulns for it, too.

The last thing I will say is that there are *nix systems on these networks, too. They are just not the majority. And they undoubtedly get hacked, too.
