No one is going to gain the equivalent of root privileges from the internet when you are using Vista or Windows 7 with UAC enabled. Yet apparently it is easy to do in Linsux.

If Linsux was as strong and bullet proof as those people say (switch to
Linsux and you won't have any security problems) this could not happen. I'm
lovin it!
No OS is invulnerable to attack. Some are just more open than others.
What bothers me about MS is that they are still refusing to
acknowledge their underlying structural problems and instead give us
band-aids like UAC. The issue for them is that real change would
impact their business model and that's out of the question for them.
It's business before security, profit before customers.
