I seriously hope that we DON'T assume this is FUD.

I think that Alan has summed up the key issue nicely.

Anyone who goes around saying "Linux is secure, Windows isn't" is, I'm 
afraid, setting themselves up for a MASSIVE egg-on-face incident.

What we CAN say is that "Ubuntu contains a good set of tools to keep 
machines secure that are free. You don't need to worry about installing 
three different update packages, each with a monthly subscription fee."
