While you were on there, did you notice "5 December, 2007 - 40 Virus Descriptions released"? It is almost impossible to install a virus in linux (not that any currently exist outside of labs, but even so) that could harm the operating your system without knowingly doing so. Can't say the same there for windows and as for the vulnerabilities, linux (and most linux software) gets patches out for its vulnerabilities (of which you can be notified in one click (for the entire system, and install them in 3 more clicks). While MS quietly sneaks them to you (or you must go seek them out for yourself).
Fewer vulnerabilities than linux? hahahahahhaha, 99% of vulnerabilities are fixed within a week and a half, most are fixed even before release. SQL Server? That runs pretty darn well on Linux too. So what hole have you buried your head in?
