I have been running Linux since late 92 and not ever have I had one virus. There are reasons. I laugh at AJ who spends seriously about 3-4 hours a week running virus software and rebooting. I like Mac OSX since it is based on BSD, otherwise, if it isn't a Unix variant, I won't waste time with it. Everyone thinks they have to have Winblows to play their games and run some specific app, but it is a lie. There are a million ways around it. I can run many windows apps emulated probably better than they would on windows. The ones I can't, there is an equal or better Linux version and if worse comes to worse I can run it in a full windows virtual machine that will run any windows app. If it has a problem, I can kill just that virtual machine and the box stays up. My old server downtown has been up almost all year, rebooted once to physically move it to a different rack. My machine at the office only gets shutdown in large storms, no need to reboot.

I don't miss the joys of windows. Or mac for that matter. You all have fun with your viruses
