While recommending moving away from Windows might represent a security ploy in the short term, the long term costs would be prohibitive for larger organizations that move away, and then move back, to Microsoft.
But why would they need to move back? Even if more sploits get tossed at the linus or bsd envs. they have a better history of addressing those problems in a shorter ammount of tme then the behemoth in Redmond. This reduces the time frame of risk drmatically still.
