Pure hog wash...
Ask anyone here and they will tell you I often take MS to task. But, I do agree I don't waste my time on the virus scares, they really mean little to me. My systems are secure (never had a virus) so it's not something I worry about.

Now if your complaint is that MS is the biggest target out there then I am in agreement with you. If your complaint is that not enough hackers are bothering to write virus for Linux I would simply reply, why bother, there aren't enough desktops for it to be worth the time. But if as you say, someday Linux becomes a real target I am certain it too will get the hackers attention.

I guess in closing all I can say is that if you get your jollies by coming here and ranting endlessly about MS and even spend hours to try and disprove when they do something right then go for it. Gawd knows I wouldn't want to be the one to steal the fun of children. In the mean time you'll just have to put up with everyone else calling it the way they see it and making their own choices instead of listening to you.

Isn't CHOICE a wonderful thing???
