Interesting article. But if you go to the mi2g website and dig around, it says that lots of the problems with Linux were from home users misconfiguring their set-up or not updating vulnerable packages, etc. Shame they didn't break it down by "distribution" of Linux!! :)

So what? There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Very true! Infact it's possibly a bad idea to "stick all of your eggs in one basket" and have a 100% homogenous OS environment. For example, even though we're migrating all of our servers to SuSE SLES, it might be a good idea to have our Firewall running [open|net]BSD.
