but I think Linux does start as a more
secure platform that Windows, so you've already got a leg up.
When it comes to security, the only one that has a leg up is that one
hacker that is going to break in, and (when you are not looking) is
going to piss on you.

You are still missing the point:
Given a standard-configuration fully-updated Windows box and compare it
to a standard-configuration fully-updated Linux box.. The windows
machine has significantly more holes in it during standard use.
You only need one hole.
