freebsd is also less used
so there might be more bugs and exploits to discover.i acatualy like that there has been more holes in linux, because it means that they are fixed.
so windows has top-notch security?
No. they are afraid if they open source the code, they will have 100 exploits/day.
Windows is not opensource.
you can compare linux and *bsd, and you can compare windows and mac. but not linux with windows.
windows also uses a lot of security though obscurity, which means it sucks.
(sorry all you windows fanbois, its not to start a flamewar)
