Generally a Bitcoin wallet on Windows will eventually be stolen, it's known that Satoshi himself admitted his mistake running Bitcoin on Windows just after he went off to work on Litecoin better things.

What is the best way to protect my bitcoin wallet on window xp/window vista/window 7/window 8 ?
I can't be arsed to write a complete tutorial but if you're willing to do some research here's a rough outline:
1. Run windows off live media.
2. Store only the bitcoin data directory on your hdd.
3. If you're saving up, store another encrypted wallet separately on removable media.

Huh, that's 2 myths in 2 lines.

I was trying to make a joke, admittingly it was a bad one.

However a Linux wallet will always be more secure than a Windows wallet unless you are extremely careful of downloads and such.

Huh, that's 2 myths in 2 lines.

Are you sure it's not 2 myths in 1 sentence?
