Nice talk from Microsoft! They hope that by feeding the technical press with glossy words for glossy articles, they can dismiss Linux. Windows is insecure by design, so without a complete rip up and replace, it will remain so. Going back some years, we had a guy in a hamradio newsgroup who had never seen Linux, but was powerfully against it until he realised he was the best recruiting seargent for Linux in that group.
Microsoft's PR has for quite some time been feeding the "when Linux has a greater market share, people will see it's just as insecure as Windows" line. If that's the best they can do, I'm heartened - they spend the PR bucks, Linux reaps the benefits.
