Right...

Two things.

1. Learn how to spell "propegate." (The correct spelling is "propagate.")

2. You just said exactly - well, not exactly. But I'm not completely sure what you're saying due to bad choice of words - what I was saying.

Oh, and 3. Where you say, "The viruses get hold of the OS because it's a bad OS," you are sadly mistaken. A virus will be made for an OS; a virus that runs on a Mac will not run on Windows, while a virus that runs on Windows will not run on a Mac. Why would virus makers spend their time making a virus that'll only affect less than 10% of the computers it gets on to? It's not that Windows has worse security, it's that the hackers target it instead of the others. I mean, if it's attacked the most it would make sense that it is more secure, because Microsoft are constantly having to fix holes in their security. (I'm not saying that's the case, as I don't actually know which OS is more secure. I'm just saying that's what would make sense. You hear about Windows releasing patches way more than you hear about Apple releasing patches)
