Hey Daniel,
It seems that most of your points of disagreement stem from the
potential for poor system administration by homo sapiens (and other
primates who might have access to a console), but I still think that
from a pure design and implementation perspective, *nix systems are more
secure for the reasons the articles point out.
Certainly any system can suffer reduced security through laziness or
poor administration. I mean, how many amateur system administrators
respond to "I have a permissions problem" with "chmod 777 *"?
But do you not think the permissions issues with who can run what on
*nix versus XP makes it more secure?

If only that woman who lives down the block would give me the
opportunity to make her say that... *sigh*.
