Linux security is not perfect, nothing is. But compared to windows security? Come on, seriously? Is .exe still the extension that'll automatically execute a program?
I'm not sure this is anywhere near what a security comparison would look like.
And the fact that the traditional Unix security model is being augmented with ACLs and selinux and what not hints, that it's not sufficient. And what these things are being used for is, well, similar to Windows security model.
