"Evans Data Corporation's Fall 2003 North American Development Survey has found that Linux has increased its lead in developers' minds as the 'most innately secure operating system' from 19% six months ago to 23% today. At the same time, the percentage of developers who said that Windows XP is the most secure dropped by more than 40%, from 14% six months ago to 8% today... A higher percentage of Windows developers said Linux is more 'innately secure' than did Linux developers."
