nah - don't really think so...
Maybe it is harder to crack, but impervious? Don't think so. Here's another theory:
Could it be that hackers see Linux as part of the same counter culture movement that they belong to so why would they break into their own house? OK... It's a bit cynical but I it's a theory - nothing more... Tthe lack of viruses on the platform is for real and there is definitely something to be said for the open source system helping to resolve these things. BTW I have an android tablet that had the rotate feature crippled by a manufacturer pushed upgrade in OS level. Problem is there is no vector to get to the manufacturer and they have no official response even though it is a known problem. Why do I mention this? Well taking this discussion into account - maybe Linux/ubuntu does have a future on the tablet platform. At least with open source somebody who can do something may actually be listening.. (hear this Acer???)
