They sell RDP access to servers? Servers? I presume Windows has a way better marketshare in the server space than previously thought, or just simply even worse security and patching than previously thought? Is there any reason that ssh is a bad thing or are the customers there all script kiddies who are lost without a mouse and some button to click?
It blow my mind that when I come to a new Windows server. The default setting is that you don't see the IP address of someone trying to make connection and there is nothing to block or prevent someone trying one millions login in a row. Even basic ftp and email software have that.
Or rather it will make the situation worse, as the next marketplace to replace this one will just have better security. The way to fight this is improving server security, nothing else will help.

Usually the servers are hacked through the applications they host, although RDP bruteforce also happens.
It isn't that windows have better market shares, it is just that they are the ones that get hacked the easiest.
