Don't be silly. Considering the FUD and misinformation that gets passed out about Linux on a daily basis, you'll excuse the quotes here which stretch the truth a tad. Your acting like the quotes said things like "M$ is teh suck". It is not a black and white world and there everyone has some sort of bias. If you were looking for a linux expert to claim Windows is just as secure, your dreaming. Beyond any bias, linux has just proven itself more secure than windwos.
The way your reacting to these very mild statements makes me really question how much of a "linux advocate" you really are. Especially when you give this standard MS defender quote "Windows is the target of many more attacks because of the huge installed base." When it comes to web serving Linux/Apache is the one with the huge installed basis and MS/IIS is the minority. Yet IIS is the one constantly getting nailed with worms that cause billions of dollars in damage each year. Why is that?
"People, Linux will never obtain the install base that Windows has as long as ignorant comments such as these are made!" One has nothing to do with the other. If your line of thinking was correct, based on their constant FUD and lies MS by now wouldn't have a single user left by now.
