Feelings vs facts
True some facts once in awhile.

Most malware won't execute on Linux based on the security model. You can also secure Windows greatly but not allowing all users to be admin equivalent. These are facts not emotions. Your agrument is based on your emotions, not on any facts. If it is a fact that you prefer Windows then great, you would prefer not to switch and that is a legitimate statement. I run Windows XP, Solaris 9 and Mandrake Linux in my home as well as workplace. Windows has the poorest default security but it is easy to fix that. Linux and Solaris can be made just as insecure as a Windows default installation. Both are facts. Does this make one OS better than another? Nope, it just means that computers are not toasters or washing appliances and that people need to look at how to secure their systems.
