Remember, in Windows, there are fewer, universal subsystems, whereas
Linux distros have a single set for many things that everyone links/uses
(and they say Linux has no standards).  There's some recent, excellent
studies coming how showing this from a security standpoint (i.e., and
you think Windows security is bad on its own ;).
