No, popularity has very little to do with it. Windows is compromised a lot
because it is trivial to do so. Linux could have twice the market share as
Windows, and it would still be less prone to invasion, simply because it is
more difficult to do so. This has been demonstrated time and time again in both
real world and simulated 'contests'. Hands down, Linux is a hundred times more
difficult to crack.
Except that misconfigured Apache, MySQL, SSH, etc, etc, etc daemons
can (and do! leave Linux servers wide open to attack.
Thus: know what you're doing before bringing your computer to Mos
Eisley.
