Windows is inherently more insecure than Unix

Scott Granneman of Security Focus has an article in the Reg arguing that Windows is inherently insecure, and that if some Unix (e.g. Linux or Mac OS) took over the desktop and server markets, we’d not see the sorts of vulnerabilities and worms so prevalent with Windows, Internet Information Server, Outlook, Internet Explorer &c.

I’m not quite certain. It seems to me that as long as there are those who wish to use computers without knowledge, there will be broken programs which cater to their supposed needs — and that so long as these programs exist, there will be problems.
