Actually, most linux users run it instead of window, because it is better if configured right or even with a boxed distro like Mandriva powerpack 2008 (which I run). Considdering how bloated windows has become through XP and vista, I'd be suprised if windows could outrun Mandriva's emulator with equal hardware.
Well guess what. Windows is a cookie cutter operating system. Meaning, if one computer has vulnerability X then it probably means that some other noob also has vulnerability X. Ever wonder about the I love you virus. Outlook express? That would be Vulnerability X for you right there. However in Linux, the operating system is like clay instead of a cement block. You can change it, meaning your computer may not have Vulnerability X. Get it?
Also, just because people support an open source operating system where everyone is free to contribute their part doesn't make them cheapskates. They just have different opinions toward the industry. You may want to have your software to make money, but others may want there software to just build on, to be made better. Or just to piss off some guy named Gates. It doesn't matter. What matters is that Linux doesn't make you a cheapskate, being too lazy to protect your computer makes you an idiot.
IF Linux was mainstream, it would be attacked more, and not all versions of Linux would have a standard defense against all the possible attack algorithms...
Don't split hairs, just watch as Mac gets decimated when it hits 10% of the userbase...like smallpox blankets hitting Native Americans...
Linux's only hope is to never make it's interface mainstream-user friendly and moddable...that's it.
Actually, the very nature of the way Linux, and consequently Mac, works makes it very difficult to infect with a virus although I believe Mac is more prone. The root/user hierachy prevents most standard attacks from working at all. The only really effective way to infect a linux PC, excusing some distro specific exploits, is to somehow convince a user to sign in as root and manually run the virus and at that point I would really chalk that up to user error, not so much a security gap in the OS.
why should someone bother making a virus for linux when so few use it, when they could make one for an os that nearly everyone uses ? thats the only real reason there are none for linus
That's total bullcrap, you know there are hackers, crackers, cyber punks (whatever you wanna call them) who are doing their job simply to fight MS. And for your information, Linux is the most stable system, check the latest hacking competition, they couldn't hack on to Ubuntu. Enough said?

There is always a way for any type of security to be flawed. This can be said with Punkbuster, Steam, Norton, and the United State's Armed Forces.
