I think what QuatumBluey was getting at was that Windows (historically) is much more virus prone for a number of reasons (biggest market share, inherent design issues). While its virtually impossible to make an OS entirely hack proof, Linux is much more resilient. UNIX is designed to be a multi-user environment, and as such, doing things like central software management is much less risky because permissions and ownership are much better defined. I could be way off base, as I have yet to do any proper research on windows 7 (I did dual boot the beta on my girlfriend's macbook, and it looks gorgeous), but unless Windows 7 has been substantially beefed up, I think that QB's sentiment stands, despite the phrasing.
