You can say that all you want but that doesn't make it so.
I'll explain again why it is not so:

It sounds like you never heard of the "Join the Crew Virus"
or Windows XP. All of the Linuxes, Unixes, and OSX are
more secure BY DESIGN. They were designed to NOT
execute code sent to a machine over the internet by
an anonymous third party. Microsoftware was DESIGNED
to execute code sent to a computer over the internet by
an anonymous third party.

Snip

Well I am sure that every thing you say here is true, today. But security
be design is going to be cracked by some one. The strong point to all the
other systems security is that 99% of the people spamming and sending out
viruses are concentrating on the easy target.


No, the strong point to all of the other systems is that they
_have to be cracked_.

Abusers didn't have to crack Windows, they just used the
available plug-ins.

Using Windows on the internet was like walking into a gay bar
at closing time with your pants down around your ankles.

... To
think that your set up is impenetrable is to be a bit naive.

False dichotomy--like 'safe' or 'unsafe' in a woodshop.
