Why Linux Is More Secure Than Windows

You know, any time you claim something is "more secure" than something else, there is bound to be an argument. I believe this is what people refer to as stirring the pot.

"Security through obscurity" may be a catchy phrase, but it's not the only thing that's catching among Windows users. The expression is intended to suggest that proprietary software is more secure by virtue of its closed nature. If hackers can't see the code, then it's harder for them to create exploits for it--or so the thinking goes.
