In my personal opinion (which i am just bacicly a beginner with linux) but what I have generally found is that people seem to be able to easily hack into anothers system by just doing simple things like creating a new.bashrc or some other things... perhaps through middle man attacks?
Anyways... microsoft devolops there O/S based on a simple principle that 90% of people just want there system to WORK. Most people dont want to have to tweak every file, and secure everything... blah blah blah, they just want to be able to sit down... and write emails or whatever the average end user does. Fortunally for me... i wanted to get into programming... and i also wanted to use an O/S that doesnt require you to have a GUI. I mean hell... when i WAS using windows.. half the time when i used it just to write a simple email, the piece of shit would crash.
Having to tweak, and secure is the fun of linux.
The common hacker just wants to be able to do everything themselfs. They dont want EVERYTHING to be automated like windows is.
Also due to windows non open source policy, the security of a windows machine will never be as good, because you cant changed the things you need to.
At my old school the only way they could keep things secure was by editing the registry... now that is truly lame
