Microsoft is banking on enhancements to what it has dubbed the fundamentals to entice enterprises to upgrade to the next version of Windows, known as Vista. The company will use upcoming industry shows to sing the praises of improvements to the Windows networking stack and secure networking techniques such as server and domain isolation to sell both Vista and Longhorn, the planned update to Windows Server.

And given that statistically, Linux is the most cracked into operating system in the world, I would NOT bank on Linux being secure in any sense of the word...
Ok, so let me get this straight: You're comparing an O/S that needs 3rd party software so that it doesn't get cracked by automated scripts written by bored teenagers against an O/S routinely used in a highly secure fashion by the likes of Google and various fortune 500. (Including numerous stock exchanges!)
A virus is an automated "crack". Linux has its share of cracks, but
1) They almost never automated, and
2) They are usually pretty easily defended against, without requiring stupid bandaids like antivirus/antispyware.
So, next time your Norton A/V complains about a virus, relax, and know that you've been cracked! Again...
Proof that, once again, idiocy knows no limits.
