Heres an interesting slugfest : "Linux vs Vista" - on the grounds of security.

While there are many +ves and -ves, the really interesting bit is towards the end, to quote from the article :
"Using thin clients with on-demand applications delivered over the Internet are now mainstream in the corporate world, Steinberg emphasized. Some software developers argue that new technologies are making moot the question of whether Windows Vista and XP platforms can be made more secure. Similarly, it should not be an issue if Linux desktop has exploitable weaknesses."
"Small businesses through large enterprise configurations can use virtualization to run Xen, VMWare and Windows Server installations. Virtualization technology moves the operating system to a centrally-managed location. It mimics behavior on the local machine, but the operating system is not there, said Heyman"
What they are actually saying is : When O/S itself becomes irrelevant, does it matter who wins the slugfest ?
