I find it interesting that he found an "expert" who doesn't know what 
capitalization is, punctuation or proper capitalization of "I".
Also interesting is that the article states that linux is full of security 
holes, I guess that Microsoft products have NO security holes then 
by extrapolation of the information in the article. Uh, huh...
Then again, what else can you expect from an author who is 
obviously attempting to cast an OS in a bad light at any cost. He'll 
find an anonymous "expert" who probably doesn't know glibc from 
wsock32.dll but is willing to bash a particular OS to gain some 
press.
Of course my respect for ABC news is still as high as it was during 
the gulf war, where an ABC "expert" reporter was in Bagdad and 
didn't understand what the noise and "lights going up into the sky" 
was (first attack on the city by air forces and missiles)...
