Right ...
How incredibly naive. Are you really so die hard against MS that you believe if Linux was on all the desktops there would be no more viruses or attacks? I use both, by the way.

hahahahah .... If/when enough switch to Unix/Linux as a desktop and all the current software needed to run a business and home are written for that, you will see that the culprit is the writers and the hackers. Can't you see it just won't matter?

As with AOL ... as it had the most subscribers, they also got the most spam and addresses stolen. Please folks stop this BS that Linux is inpregnable ... if enough are on desktops, the virus writers and hackers will just change focus ... then who will be to blame? Maybe THEN you'll blame the right parties?!!
