OS of choice...
Frankly, If Linux was the dominant OS we would be seeing a rash of Linux viri.

Its all about impact. Virus writers want to have the biggest impact, you do that by writing to the most common platform. Windows is the most common platform, and therefore has the most hands trying to exploit it.

So the end result is, no matter who the dominant OS is, the traffic would be out there and would slow down and clog up the net.

To suggest anything else is ignorance.
