LOL! This never happens with Ubuntu.
I couldn't really, could it? There's only half a dozen copies in use. Most
people who try it think "This is free, and it's still a rip off!!", and go
back to XP.
Security through obscurity, they call it.

Where is UDungTu used the most? In developing 3rd world world nations.
Who uses it most? Pimply faced geeks.
Why do people use it? Because it is free and they don't have the money to
buy a real operating system.
Now, do you think that anyone who is trying to make serious money from
computer crime is going to give an effort to try to compromise UDungTu
(linux)? Do you think they are interested in the last 25 cents that these
people have?

MS has patched fixed this last November. Even say's so in the article
Might want to check this out though
Ubuntu security fixes . First 100 out of 1200. Last one only yesterday

One of many for an OS that is supposed to be free of any vulnerability.

I also use Linux Red Hat and it has as many if not more security problems as does MS

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt! Wrong! Try Europe.
Who uses it most? Pimply faced geeks.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt! Wrong! We took a survey on the Ubuntu newsgroup and
most users were over 50 with a good percentage over 60 and some over 70.
And guess what, most are not geeks and none of them have pimples.
Why do people use it? Because it is free and they don't have the money
to buy a real operating system.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt! Wrong! People use it because it's easy to use and
compared to Windows, it's bullet proof in regards to being compromised
by malware.
Now, do you think that anyone who is trying to make serious money from
computer crime is going to give an effort to try to compromise UDungTu

Logical fallacy, your specialty.

MS doesn't patch anyone's computer. So far, nine million people didn't
bother to patch. With Ubuntu they would have had the orange icon appear
which can't be overlooked.

And a bright orange icon appears that NO ONE can miss for Ubuntu updates
and it doesn't just update Ubuntu, it updates *everything* that's
installed from the repositories.

All OSes have vulnerabilities. Ubuntu is much quicker put out patches
and makes it much easier to install them.

Considering I didn't say Ubuntu was free of any vulnerability ...
I also use Linux Red Hat and it has as many if not more security
problems as does MS
So use Ubuntu.

And the last one listed for Windows is yesterday too. Big deal. It's kind
of hard to accurately count these for any OS w/o spending a lot of time,
since many are in 3rd party s/w and listed under the O/S the s/w runs on.
All Linux fixes. To many to count
http://www.vupen.com/english/linux-advisories/2
Except that Linux distro's share many of the same components, so many of
those vulnerabilities are listed multiple times, once for Ubuntu, once
for Redhat, once for Gentoo, etc.
But let's get realistic here.......almost all of these vulnerabilities,
on their own, is fairly insignificant if there isn't some process running
that takes advantage of them.
This process would typically some form of virus, worm, trojan, or
malware, of which we all know is 99.99~% most likely a Windows system.
And, they don't even need to exploit some security 'hole' even.
If you go back to that web page you cited and look at the malware
warnings...
http://www.vupen.com/english/malware-advisories/
....you would see that since Jan 1, 2009, around 450 new malware packages
have been identified....for Windows.
This is, by far, the biggest problem.
The Internet would be a much safer place if there was no threat of a
website silently installing s/w on a PC just by visiting it.

Of course it couldn't happen with Ubuntu. Ubuntu doesn't have but a few
hundred thousand users worldwide. Even though you say that 10 million are
using Ubuntu, you are so full of shit. Maybe over the last 10 years, 10
million have downloaded Ubuntu, but MOST have ditched that crappy OS because
it isn't worth 2 Euros.
Feel better now?
