you seem to know quite a bit about OSs. I assume that you are a sys admin. If you don’t know the reasons why UNIX based systems are inherintely superior then I would suggest reading a book on Operating Systems.

I did not say that it isnt vulnerable. Its architecture(more or less the same as most unix based) is just a more secure platform then what Windows currently has.
