I stop reading when he said all Windows users are admins by default. That hasn't been true for over a decade.
He also seems to think all viruses are exe files that get through email filters and execute without any sort of warning.
Not gonna say Windows is great, but I honestly think Linux isn't any better, just less targeted

The short answer I think is that the code is open. Anyone can review it and anyone can propose a change. Nobody really knows what lurks in the depths of Windows, not even MS.

Contrary to popular belief, FOSS does not actually make programs more secure. It's actually a dangerous mindset because it promotes laziness over vigilance in FOSS. There are much better ways to determine whether a given program is secure or not aside from what license its under. I will say though that I do believe FOSS is more secure on average but I don't have hard data (no one really does) so it's just an opinion
A good read on this. Skip to the conclusion if you are lazy.
