I'm really surprised to see this "Windows is more popular, that's why it's exploited more often" misinformation being spewed on a technical list like NANOG. I thought people here had more clue.
I don't think a individual opinion is representative for the whole 10000+ (?) member list. Besides there were very knowledgeable people expressing the opposite view. And this is a network operators list. I figure the subject of operating system security is less prevalent on here than it would be on a systems administrator list (is there one like nanog?), and compared to, say, IPv6 :-) For the record I too do disagree wholeheartedly with the "Windows is more popular, that's why it's exploited more often" sentiment. It is patently untrue which others already explained rather well.
