I should like to add my 2c worth:

1. GNU/Linux software is more often than not developed for the love of 
the technology, as opposed to other software where monetary gain is the 
motivating factor.

2. Windows is an overpriced form of neo-colonialist spyware which 
consists of badly designed software overlaid with more badly designed 
software overlaid with more badly designed software overlaid with ...

3. Compare the number of hits you get if you do a google search using 
the following arguments:

   a. +linux +security +problems -windows -microsoft
   b. +windows +microsoft +security +problems -linux

This may not prove anything, but it is surely evocative.

4. The only time a GNU/Linux system needs a virus scanner is when it is 
being used as a mail or proxy server for a Windows network.

cheers
Duncan
