Speaking of which, that reminds me of when I was looking for jobs years ago, and I was at an interview where the interviewer seemed to have a dislike for Linux.  He said he didn't trust Linux because since it's open-source, he thought that meant there's a high risk of someone putting malware of some kind into Linux..  On the other hand, he felt that since Windows is closed-source and developed by a small team of people who are paid to work on it, Windows should be more trusted.  I suppose I can see the reasoning, though I've always heard that Linux being open-source is actually a strength: There are many people looking at the Linux code (moreso than the Windows code), and people who review it to ensure that malware isn't submitted to the codebase and that security issues are fixed soon after they're discovered.
