In what appears to be a twist on the conventional wisdom that Windows systems are more vulnerable to viruses than Linux systems, some of TomTom's GPS navigation gadgets appear to have infected Windows PCs with a "low risk" virus.
The linux system infected the windows system, but the linux system wasn't effected by the virus. That makes linux more secure than windows (it was just a carrier), not the other way around. Linux hands windows a grenade, windows pulls the pin.
Not trying to say either OS is better than the other here, but people like this **** me off.
