"Please, Linux is way more popular on the desktop front, and has way more hackers going at it then BSD or Solaris."
Doesn't matter. Is till doesn't make up for the vast descrepency of 90 vs more than 4,000. Even when weighed proportionally with the number of users.
"The worst that can happen with FireFox in 99% of all cases is that FireFox goes down. With IE they ruin your system."
Not even remotely true. Firefox has been plagued recently with a string of exploitable vulnerabilities that allowed execution of arbitrary code.
And vulnerabilities on Secunia do not get classifed as highly critical or extremely critical unless they are capable of doing serious damage to your system. So again, your argument doesn't hold up cause Linux has far more of them then any other operating system I compared it to.
