I don't think a individual opinion is representative for the whole
10000+ (?) member list. Besides there were very knowledgeable people
expressing the opposite view.
And this is a network operators list. I figure the subject of operating
system security is less prevalent on here than it would be on a systems
administrator list (is there one like nanog?), and compared to, say,
IPv6 :-)
For the record I too do disagree wholeheartedly with the "Windows is
more popular, that's why it's exploited more often" sentiment. It is
patently untrue which others already explained rather well.
Greetings,
Jeroen
