Linux reported vulnerabilities according to National Vulnerability Database, 2011 YTD = 212
of those 69 are the highest severity rating
all OSes have vulnerabilities, period. Windows has the highest # reported and fixes are published way faster too...
also my linux server has only been cracked a few times (guest account) and never did it go offline. since windows runs one large monolithic kernel, a faulty mouse driver will blue screen a server. linux (and mac now that it is based on bsdi unix) has a modular architecture so when software crashes, it wont bring down the whole server down with it.
