Comment Linux more secure? Wrong (Score 0, Redundant) 901

The idea that Linux is more secure than Windows is wrong. All software has bugs and exploits in it waiting to be discovered. It is because we use crappy software development languages like C.

Linux has had less exploits than Windows so far because less people use it therefore less virus writers make virus's for it. Same goes for Outlook/Office. Everyone uses those so there are heaps of exploits for them.

Diversity is more secure than lack of diversity - no single product is greatly more secure than any other.
