tut tut tut! Typical winpup response 
Fully secure OS, no virus's, no spyware/malware, no rather intrusive licensing malarky annoying WGA checking. Just a clean, fully optimised, fully customisable AND completely FREE OS for the win 
Ah, a 'winpup', I wouldn't start that debate....
Unfortuantely, I work with Unix servers all day, every day, including Linux. Trust me, I know it very well

. Too bloody well

Secure OS? Err, no. Of all our internet facing Unix (or Windows come to that) servers, Linux is the one that gets compromised the most often.
No Viri? Err, no. There are viri out there, mostly in the lab, a few in the wild. The evangelists shouting that Linux has no virus threat is one of Linux's biggest dangers, as nobody runs AV on it. Very dangerous.
Clean, optimised, customisable - all OSes are now, have been for years.
Free? Depends on your definition of free. Forgetting the argument about 'free as in beer' or whatever tosh he spouted, with a few exceptions, Linux is either incomplete, old, beta, or more expensive than Windows

Nah, Windows, for the huge majority of people, is the best desktop. For small workgroup servers, its probably the best server. Proper Unix is the best for big apps, leaving Linux in a bit of a niche market, covering mainly hobby and webhosting.
