That doesn't really wash with me. This seemingly endless blabber that all things Linux are more secure than all things Microsoft has been shown to be wrong time and time again. That doesn't mean the reverse is true either.
Well, how about the fact that Linux has achieved the highest security certification level available to commercial OS's - a level only achieved by Sun's Trusted Solaris (at least as popular OS's are concerned). (I believe it's RHEL4 that made it.)
That's more than Microsoft can say, and it was possible because of the NSA's contribution of the SELinux code to the Linux Kernel.
It's also not something that's merely pro-Linux.
