That's funny, I would say the exact opposite. Debian can be setup to run
flawlessly, so that users cannot tamper with it. Windows, on the other hand,
needs constant attention to prevent it falling over due to spyware, viruses,
spam, manual software installs and upgrades of using different packaging and
distribution systems, users getting into things they shouldn't, and all sorts
of other issues.
