Linux and Windows Security Neck and Neck

Linurati writes "According to vnunet.com, Linux and Windows are neck and neck when it comes to security, but 'misleading figures and surveys are muddying the waters.' The article lays blame on both sides for the misleading information." From the article: "...Microsoft had made real progress on security in the past two years, but that the increasing number of Linux enthusiasts coming into the market would help the open source alternative in the long run."

again with the sensationalist headlines that has nothing do with the evidence presented in the article

the guys says "Engates added that his company manages 13,000 servers, roughly half of which are open source and half Microsoft. He claims to see little difference between the security on either platform."

Ya so windows servers are about as secure as linux servers, which is about right if you have an experienced admin that knows what he/she is doing

windows is not secure by default for a typical end user that doesn't know much about security there is no argument
