Security relies solely in the hands of the system administrator for any given 
OS.  Given that, UNIX _can_ be very secure.  The problem with windows is I 
don't trust Microsoft.  Have you seen the source code for windows 2000?  Do 
you _know_ without a doubt the integrity of the authors?  Maybe there's a 
network "easter egg" that's not yet been disclosed.  You can't be sure 
without seeing the code.  Therefore, Open Source, in my mind, will ALWAYS be 
more secure, because you can verify.  I trust M$'s programmers as much as I 
agree with their business tactics.  NOT!

The do make an awesome gaming platform though...  they make toys.  ;-)
