Comments on: Which is more secure, Windows or Linux? http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2005/07/13/which-is-more-secure-windows-or-linux/ Protect yourself from government gaffes, bureaucratic blunders and incumbent incompetence Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:25:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Johnson http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2005/07/13/which-is-more-secure-windows-or-linux/#comment-1459 Johnson Sun, 18 Jun 2006 22:27:37 +0000 http://www.ioerror.us/?p=238#comment-1459 Clearly Linux is the most secure. And even if Microsoft is now going to pay more attention to security and stability, I'll believe it when I see it. Even if Windows were more secure, it's still the one that's targeted the most. As I said on another thread, however, Linux out of the box is not all that secure, simply because most of the security software is not installed and configured by default. Its for this reason that I would have problems advising an unsophisticated Windows user to switch. Clearly Linux is the most secure.

Which operating system lets you set a null administrator password? Which operating system comes with a null administrator password out of the box? Which system doesn't alert you if you put in a weak password? I think its all pretty obvious.
