Anonymous Reader writes "Linuxlookup.com is reporting Wipro surveyed 90
companies in the U.S. and Western Europe with 2,500 to 113,000 employees
where both the Windows and open source operating systems were
simultaneously being run. The outcome: Windows beats Linux in Security.
"We already know how to secure a Windows-based solution and keep it
running smoothly,” says Stephen Shaffer, the airline’s director of
software systems. “With Linux, we had to rely on consultants to tell us
if our system was secure. With Windows, we can depend on Microsoft to
inform us of and provide any necessary updates.""
