That post is so true, I am getting extremely tired of people just saying how crap Microsoft is without any valid comments as to why.
I won't lie, Firefox seems to be at least a year above IE in terms of features, bug fixes, and repairing of security holes. I think Firefox has proven just how good openSource browsers can be. That's the only really major flaw of MS that gets to me.
MS have contributed to the world of technology, and thanks to their widely used platform which is built for good home use and business use, everyone has an operating system that can be used at varying levels of knowledge and do what you want with the minimum of hassle.

The base of Linux's security though, is a lie. The reason it doesn't have any viruses, is because only a minority of people use Linux, and subsequently virus programmer's can't be bothered to code viruses for Linux.

The fact that a lot of developers do work on making it more secure also helps; but yes you are totally right, everyone will pick on Windows since its the most popular OS and therefore the OS that you're going to have the biggest impact on by exploiting it.
