Windows vs. Linux Security, Once More

TAGmclaren writes "The Register is running a very interesting article about Microsoft and Linux security. From the article: 'until now there has been no systematic and detailed effort to address Microsoft's major security bullet points in report form. In a new analysis published here, however, Nicholas Petreley sets out to correct this deficit, considering the claims one at a time in detail, and providing assessments backed by hard data. Petreley concludes that Microsoft's efforts to dispel Linux "myths" are based largely on faulty reasoning and overly narrow statistical analysis.' The full report is available here in HTML form, and here in PDF. Although the article does make mention of OS X, it would have been nice if the 'other' OS had been included in the detailed analysis for comparison."

Microsoft products are more vulnerable, despite that Microsoft uses statistics that says otherwise to make you believe otherwise.

If you're the idiot who modded this off-topic then you clearly haven't got a fucking clue about:

1. What this story is about; and
2. Irony.
