LINUX is more secure

You have to this first

There has only been a couple of official “level playing field” competitions comparing the security of Linux with Microsoft and Apple. The first was held at a Hackers conference called CanSecWest in 2008. The competition, called Pwn2Own, offered free computers and a cash prize to anyone who could hack into an Apple, Microsoft or Linux computer that was placed in public view at the conference. On the second day of the three day competition, one of the 400 attendees was able to crack the Mac security system – winning $20,000 and an Apple computer. On the third day, another hacker was able to crack the Microsoft computer – winning $10,000 and the Windows computer. No one was ever able to crack the Linux Ubuntu computer.

This cause LINUX more secure

There are many problems with the Microsoft business model. One of them is that Microsoft wants (needs) access to your computer to make sure you are not using a pirated version of their software. They therefore allow programs to be changed or disabled without “root” access. One of the first steps in installing a Linux operating system on your computer is creating a unique password that only you know. This is called the “root” access password. Without this password, there is no way to add or change any of the programs. However, Windows programs can be installed or uninstalled without the consent of the administrator (that is you) and without any root password. This seems to be related to the Microsoft policy of keeping an open back door to your computer.
