I'm not saying it's a cure-all and I'm a security researcher too. At least giving people an environment which gives them a little more security by default and a lot more when you enable things like AppArmor or SELinux I think puts it miles ahead from Windows. Also the amount of customizability you get with Linux (like how small you can make it), how responsive and resilient it can be I feel makes it the only real option for embedded. People can get Linux on a business card so it's very light! And it's free, which was my main point.
