Linux users online tend to get very high and mighty every time another OS has a sucurity bug. But it's a good thing for Linux hehe

That's because illuminating security vulnerabilities is VERY GENERALLY a good thing for an open source community driven software that can be more agile than closed and private code bases that are GENERALLY entrenched in a corporate structure slowed by all of the inertia inherent in those systems.
