Of course your mail is on a lighter note, but i would like to add that the fact that windows is "closed source" is a big hindrence to the security guys.
Since linux is opensourced, problems can be detected by good people well before they are started to be exploited. Whereas in the case of windows, first a virus has to exploit the vulnerability, which will tell us that such a bug exists and then the security experts have to patch it up. So its always a cat-and-mouse game here in windows. Hence i think linux is much secure overall. Ofcourse it may have millions of bugs right now but i believe they are getting fixed each day. Sachin.
