I found below news that easily explains why Linux is Better and secure than Windows OS.

Windows is inherently harder to secure than Linux. There I said it. The simple truth.
Many millions of words have been written and said on this topic. I have a couple of pictures. The basic argument goes like this. In its long evolution, Windows has grown so complicated that it is harder to secure. Well these images make the point very well
The first picture is of the system calls that occur on a Linux server running Apache.
The second image is of a Windows Server running IIS.
