Look Ted, those of us who've used Linux in anger know how good it is.
Those who haven't... well, they can keep buying Wds versions (every time
the company feels they need some extra money) and feeling all warm and
fuzzy and knowledgeable every time the find a work around some shitty
bug or some hidden stuff and are able to keep having things they already
had in the previous version, or paying out even more money for other
company's solutions to the mess.
Different strokes for different folks, no need to get excited about it.
After all, it's their mess, and their money they are throwing down.

I found it "interesting" that SEVEN of the TOP 25 lists of "Vulnerable
Products" are called "Windows" yet they roll all of the hundreds of
Linux builds under "Linux Kernel" No doubt many of the Windows flaws
are duplicate or cross-versions (since they are nearly all the same
product based on the same code.)
One of those is wrong, isn't it?
Linux is good about being OPEN about their issues and the fixes,
unlike Windows that ships a dozen updates every month whose
description says "This update addresses a problem in Windows." Well,
duh.
So what did you find "interesting" in the link?

lol
Nope I don't think anyone said "immune" - just much harder to deploy.
You can bet your bottom dollar that companies like MS, and Apple are
looking for any way to discredit/attack Linux. In fact, this thing
smacks of Microsoft-ish "design": that is the software has a design flaw
so big it's practically useless. :)
