If we all used Linux...
The virus makers would target it instead of Windows.
There isn't some special code in Linux and Mac that stops viruses from getting through, just like 'that', it's the fact that NINETY percent of computer users have WINDOWS.

It's good that some people do use Mac, Linux and UNIX, because if they didn't everyone would be susceptable to viruses.
But stop spamming crap and telling everyone to get it, because if you do, the hackers will take notice, and they WILL make viruses for these systems. And you WILL get a virus.
