A new report has been published that aims to compare Windows V Linux security using facts rather then hype, mythology, the force, or anything else.

So have a read and see what you think.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/securit...dows_vs_linux/

based on the way these things tend to be received here let me just say that :

1) I am not saying Linux is better then Window or vice versa, merely hoping that reading the report will help people out. I did not write the report so any bias it has is not mine.

2) I do not wish to start yet another Windows v Linux debate, but hopefully people can argue against the points made in the report in a constructive fashion.

3) Saying its down the admin won`t work in this case as its talking about fundamental design issues (although I agree very much that an Admins skill affects security).

4) Personnally I use Freebsd more then anything else, which , in my own personal opinion (which I am entirely entitled to) is better then Windows or any Linux distro, but I use Windows and its fine for some stuff, and I use Linux which is fine for other stuff.

Now I am returing to my cave.
