for one thingthe program in the original post installed by emailing it to 
the machine you want to track.  ie user opens mail in outlook, is infected.  
try that in linux.  user opens mail in (fill in the blank) sees suspicious 
attachment, saves to file su to root, install (assume it is an rpm for 
simplification) start service.

yeah, right.

having said that, no OS is safe.  some are just less safe than others.

ah the random sig file.....

"Microsoft has knowingly and willfully concealed information regarding 
security flaws in computer software from the [National Security Agency] out 
of fear that revealing such flaws would reduce the number of copies of its 
products that would be purchased by the government... I have raised this 
issue internally with Microsoft, and in return have been the subject of 
both bribes and threats."  -ED CURRY, Computer Security Specialist, in a 
letter to Defense Secretary William Coen
