What you can't do with Ubuntu:

Worry about:
WPA and WGA raising their ugly heads,
DRM,
Viruses,
Root kits,
Spyware,
and
Malware.

The reasons that Ubuntu is more secure than Windows are twofold:

1. When *anything* in Ubuntu needs updating or patching, it all comes
from the same source and a little orange star appears when any updates
or patches are available. It's a known fact that anti virus apps and
anti malware apps can only deal with nasties that are known, not the new
ones. Hence, it is very important to be updated or patched and not just
the operating system but everything that is installed on the computer.
Windows has no central updating source and the user has to be checking
constantly for updates to their programs or face the possibility of
being compromised.

2. In Ubuntu, when anything wants to install, you have to key in your
password. With Windows, you have to click on "OK" or nothing at all as
is evidenced by drive by malware. Unlike Windows, the Linux kernel is
not intertwined with a browser like Windows is with Internet Explorer
and the kernel is kept away and protected from the user account.

I've accepted every single update from Ubuntu and the only thing that
has happened is that my install gets better and better.

And you know exactly what goes into a "security update" from Windows?

Yes...not only is there a description, but the KB can be looked up prior to
acceptance.
You would know that, if you weren't a linux troll.

Yeah, a "description" that says nothing. I dare say you accept *each*
and *every* security date, now don't you?

Oh, I do know that and have read them and they say nothing except
something general like "this update is to prevent someone from taking
over your machine" or something equally as vague.
