I like this, its true: "It's NOT as good for protecting a single user from himself".
Yet observe that the project of the virus is not to enable people to hurt themselves, but simply to cause trouble.
So if: "UNIX security is very good for what it was meant for: protecting the machine from several different users, and protecting the users from each other"
Is the organisation (employer(s), friend(s), neighbour(s), Internet) better secured by adopting Star Office?
Well I don't think so, because these Unix security benefits only apply when run under Linux/Solaris right? And the point at issue is the relative security of Star v MS Office and NOT Linux v Windows.
