There's no shittier OS to use than a Windows system loaded to the gills with corporate rootkits and their agents. And is it actually more secure than a sanely configured Linux desktop? Those running agents kinda seem like pretty sweet targets for hackers.

A sanely configured Windows is actually pretty good. I’m sure corporate would ruin Linux too.

  Microsoft is leaving so much money on the table by not selling Windows LTSB to individual consumers.

    A standard pro installation is pretty good. I don’t think id want an LTS install.

Indeed, and I'm not arguing that practically speaking it's more secure. But wiping the disk and running Linux because "I know better than you" isn't going to fly in most businesses.
