UNIX Security: Don't Believe the Truth?

OSNews has an interesting editorial about security on UNIX-like systems. "One of the biggest reasons for many people to switch to a UNIX desktop, away from Windows, is security. It is fairly common knowledge that UNIX-like systems are more secure than Windows. 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"

Incoherent babble from a complete idiot who can't form an intelligent thesis statement, structure an argument, or figure out how to build an argument based on reason gets posted on the front page of Slashdot. Film at Eleven. Warren (OSNews has very low standards on the quality of things they allow on there. Or is it completely open, and anyone can post on it? That would explain the complete lack of intellect this writer displays.)
