You mean like OSX viruses that are coming out?

No OS is 100% secure, no OS is 100% immune to virus. Despite what anyone and everyone seems to say at one time or another -- I truly think TWO of the biggest reasons Windows is exploited so heavily by hackers and virus writers is -- 1) HUGE MARKET SHARE -- its everywhere, 2) People not understanding even the simple concepts of protecting your machine. Most folks don't even understand the concept of using a firewall for crying out loud.

All this said, I'm not a Microsoft lover either -- I agree its heavily bloated software, their upgrade/support policies are laughable at best, their licensing model (and what they charge) make me wish I could borrow a Apache gunship for just a day -- you know to "tour" Redmond by air...oops did I launch a hellfire? Oh no that building with the Microsoft sign just got torched by the 30mm cannon...my bad.

lol.

Finally, I like playing PC games...if "they" made ALL (not just some mind you - but EVERY title) of game for the PC on the MAC and mac ran faster and more stable -- hey sign me up for buying a MAC...but this isn't the case so I'll stick with PCs and XP for now.
