Windows Vista is "dramatically more secure than any other operating

I'm sure that's a misquote by the BBC or you, although I can't be arsed to RTFA.
Microsoft have never been so idiotic as to make that claim before: although they love touting their bugware's enhanced security, etc, it would be incredibly stupid of them to attempt to advertise based on superior security over Unices.

Perhaps there's an asterisk in the direction of "while switched off"?

It is well-known that I am blunt and unsophisticated. It's largely your fault if you object to this.
