Idiot
What a thoroughly stupid and ignorant post you have made.

"The security in Ubuntu must have been an afterthought considering the number of bugs and vulnerabilities reported on this OS. Look at secuna just for this year alone."

I'm presuming you mean Secunia not secuna, and the statistics just don't match up.

The latest final version of Ubuntu 6.10 - released October of last year, has had 71 Secunia advisories issued of which NONE where rated 'extremely' critical, and of which ALL where fixed QUICKLY with vendor patches.

Vista however released recently has had 8 Secunia advisories 25% of which remain UNPATCHED and of which 18% where rated as EXTREMELY CRITICAL SECURITY FLAWS in Windows Vista.

So please explain my ill-informed friend how 18% unpatched security holes in vista, versus 0% unpatched security flaws in Ubuntu make Vista more stable.

You really should get your facts right...
