Linux really compromised more?

Linux hacked more often than Windows: ZDNet Australia: News: Software
A couple of people have already pointed to this article that states that Linux servers are hacked more often than Windows servers. But they all miss one key line in the ZDNet article.

“The mi2g study concentrated on “overt digital attacks” and didn’t include more general forms of attack such as viruses and worms. “

That’s kind of like saying “If you ignore the deaths caused by drunken drivers, more people die from being shot every day than in automobile accidents”. or “If you ignore all of the marriages that are not recognized by the state, there are no gay people getting married anywhere.”
