NeoSmart has published their Windows Vista RC1 Monster Review, which tries a kind of "thorough overview" of everything Vista will ship with this close to RTM. Especially interesting is the brief security run-down. And of course, there are screenshots as always.

//Rootkits, and plenty of them.//
No means to get installed, other than by direct physical intervention or via password cracking.
No self-propogating malware in the wild for Linux.
A (real biological) virus can be extremely lethal, but it is not a significant threat if it has no viable vector. This observation translates well into the realm of computer security.

Suggest away. Feel free. No harm there, I have done that quite a bit myself.
Proof ... should be interesting. How do you propose to proove a negative?
"A great deal of "Linux security" has to do with its lack of market numbers."
Completely ignores the fact that Linux has significant market share for servers, also. Still no malware to speak of.
