It's 2015 and Microsoft has figured out anything can break Windows

>>"Linux is the most common operating system in the world - deal with it!"

You really are one of the worst types of zealot - little technical argument but constant, repeated assertions without support that something is better. If you really want to use the fallacy of appeal to popularity, then you'd also be arguing that Windows is a superior desktop OS because it's vastly more popular on the desktop than GNU/Linux. But in fact it has little actual bearing on whether or not this is true.

If you really want to make a case amongst technical people, then explain what technically makes GNU/Linux the better OS because spamming this and other stories (which you have been doing) with comments that Linux is more widely used and that people should "deal with it", just annoys people on the whole. The only remotely technical argument I recall you making is about Linux scaling to be used on super computers. That is true, but it doesn't mean it is better than Windows unless you're looking for an OS for your supercomputer - which 99.999% of the world are not. It's a great thing about GNU/Linux, but it's not a reason to spam comments in a story about malware on desktop and server machines.
