Why Windows is less secure than Linux 3732

The images are interesting, but without more info., readers don't really know *what* those images represent... for example, the systems calls weren't listed, etc.

I've got a Windows server (2003) on the net that is used for my personal email, a web server, a game server, ftp server, and a few other, less important things. It has never successfully been hacked into, nor are there any viruses, spyware or malware on it.

It has never crashed, although I have had to take it offline for a few minutes now and then to patch it every so often (most patches don't require reboots though to be fair to MS).

But you know what the *easiest* way to get at secured systems?

Go in through the front door of the business and get on the internal network. The funny thing is, it is easier to *steal* the physical machine in *most* cases than to try and crack externally facing security. How many times have you seen people piggy back there way into a secure facility (where someone else opens the secure door, and others follow them inside).

Anyways, my 2 cents on that :)
