That said; it is also known that as more & more folks migrate to these
Systems it has attracted the attention of the Bad Guys.  Exploits of
both above mentioned O/S's have been crafted and found 'In the Wild'.

Assuming that You have neither the Capital nor desire to completely
revamp/replace Your present configuration then simply choose to become
proactive about Your own safeguards.  As long as M$ continues to be the
dominant O/S in the World it will always attract the most attention from
exploiters.  Larger Market = Larger Target.  :)
