Well are u saying that no UNIX/Linux/BSD servers have ever been hacked? Those who manage those NIX servers have access to their source codes as well. So their servers should be bullet-proof right?
As with Linux, Windows admins need to be pro-active when it comes to security. My company uses Linux servers but Windows 2000 on clients because of Office (sigh!).
I am no troll just being fair here.
Just understand that sometimes we use Windows not because by choice but are forced to use it because of the amount of apps and data generated over the years have been on Windows/Office. The cost of and time taken for converting/recoding apps would have been astronomical.
You have a right to disagree but get your facts right first.
