Windows as the safest software.

I have to agree as Linux becomes more popular it will become a larger target. But, all Linux distros I have used you have to be root to install new software and to make changes to the system. Whilst windoze is run as administer, by most users, allowing anything the hacker wants. The only way I can visualize windows being a safer alternative is for them to hold less than 1% of the installed base. I really think that is a pipe dream.
