Well...
Whether you have a setup that actually is secure, or perhaps you have just been lucky, doesn't mitigate the fact that the zombie armies out there are pretty much exclusively Windows PC's.

That's the obvious counter argument that is kind of an awkward problem for windows and its security reputation.

One thing I usually ask people (regardless of the OS they use) is, well, what procedures and software do you use to test if an intrusion has or has not happened? Most people seem to think that a firewall and virus scanner is enough. My experience has been that people say they have never had any incidents, yet too many have and never knew it.
