dis this blame that....
no matter what software you run no matter how much you know there's always someone else out there that knows something different. You can blame anyone you want but it isnt going to change a thing. You can build a 10ft high wall around your house and if someone wants to get in they can find a way. The way virus writers work is very much the same as any other business that deals with larges amounts of people as their source for income. The business has target markets and the target can't be an exact match with oh say people with one blue eye, one green eye, black hair and is ambidexterious. in OS software terms thats FreeBSD. Or if you choose people with a pulse and can read would be Microsoft. if you simply blame a company eventhough they could buy everyone in the world a #4 at McDonalds and still have more money than 90% of the world, blame away. If you took all the machines that have a Windows OS on them and replaced it with Linux how long do you think it would take for black hats to bring it down to it's knees? I mean seriously if you say "never" you're ignorant. anything not running Windows or Mac OS is usually either A. specialized B. experimental or C. an alternative. The reason you dont see as many problems with other OS platforms is they don't have nearly as many people using them and not nearly as many people pooping out software for them. It all boils down to people love to push the blame to someone or something else.
