Has anybody ever, I mean _EVER_, read anything that was fair, balanced and true around here?

I know it's a commentary, but it's a hopelessly sucky commentary.

What makes me wonder is, how come I always hear about Windows being on 98% of computers, but when talking about worms, viruses, evil unholy code, noone mentions its on 98% Windows PCs?

Yea thats right, and think what that does to your TCO. Install a copy of W2k, virus scanner, firewall (or would like a free BSD with that?) time to test, install patches. (Patching a windows box is far _FAR_ more of a b1tch than a Linux, no testimonials from pompom carrying MS fanboys, please).
