Linux vs. Vista: How Does Security Stack Up?
Friday, February 16th, 2007
…some computer security experts contend that Windows Vista offers little to make computing more secure. They suggest that rather 
than wait for a half-baked new Windows operating system, consumer and enterprise users would have far better security with Linux. "For the most part, the relatively slow response to Windows Vista is self inflicted. Vista has offered little to entice those using Windows XP to migrate," John Cherry, initiative manager for the OSDL (now Linux Foundation) Desktop Linux Working Group, told LinuxInsider. "It also comes with a heavy price tag in terms of training, hardware requirements, hardware compatibility and application compatibility."
Anyone debating which system’s security is better need only ask a system administrator, Cherry said. In the face of viruses, worms or other breaches, the answer is obvious. "We don’t need a survey or study to determine the answer. The answer is universal with those that actually manage these systems," Cherry declared.
