Whether this is true or not will not be up for debate in this short editorial; I will simply assume UNIX-like systems are more secure, for the sake of argument. However, how much is that increased security really worth for an average home user, when you break it down? According to me, fairly little"

That sucks, but: UNIX rocks,

Since when is this an acceptable and objective way of writing an article? Frankly, you may as well, use pointed four-letter words you may get your point across better. This person needs to revisit a dictionary to improve their vocabulary. Or at very least write an article that doesn't sound like it was written by a 10 year old. I do like the credibility of 10 years of experience but:
Like um, I'll never visit your site again, Dude.
