Is MS Window secure and safe?

As we always heard, MS Windows is not secured because there are a lot of "hole" that allow hacker to control/access your system remotely. IOH, Linux and MacOS is more secure.

Craig has posted the link of Computer Weekly that points to research done by the Danish security firm Secunia. The research statistics show that MS Windows is more secured than we thinked. Because of the popularity of MS Window, it become the main target of hackers/virus authors to attack. That is why more vulnerabilities against MS Windows compare with others.

You may think that MS Windows is secured now. However, do you think it is safe? In my opinion, SECURE is NOT equal to SAFE! The chances to get infected in MS Windows is still higher than others because these viruses are designed for MS Windows.
[This is my opinion, it may be right, or may be wrong.]

So, should we keep on MS Windows or move to Linux or other OS? It depends on yourself. For me, I will stick on MS Windows for this moment.
