No OS on the face of the earth is "safe". Linux is IMHO "safer" than Windows, but my no means is it immune to human ingenuity. In fact, the more popular it becomes, the more security problems I expect to see. As I posted earlier, I am a long term Linux user. It is my os of choice. However, for most users a good version of Windows remains a good choice. By this I mean XP or Windows 7. ME and Vista are abominations. The interface in 8 is annoying. I think Microsoft forgot that most PC's are not tablets and do not have a touchscreen interface. Fortunately this can be remedied. There are, however, many other irritants.
