> The public takedowns related to tor have been more about firefox than windows. But I get that Linux fans like to think that this is their sole bailiwick.
It's not exactly fanboyism that makes security-conscious people prefer Linux. In fact, anybody with even a basic understanding of infosec knows that Windows should be considered wide open: Microsoft has backdoors, they give the NSA backdoors, and their code isn't open to peer review. Moreover, the Tor Freedom Host attack only exploited Firefox on Windows.

Don't you think this is a little rude? Or even just presumptive?
