"I do not consider Windows ready for the desktop. I found it difficult to use, buggy and lacking in security. I also found technical support lacking. While Windows captured a significant portion of the desktop market, the product is clearly not a good fit for consumers who do not understand the risks associated with logging on to the Internet. The costs of providing aftermarket products can run higher than the price paid for the hardware."

It doesn't matter when/if scum turn their attention to Linux/BSD and start writing virus/spyware for these operating systems. The OS architecture does not allow things like this to wreck havoc as they can on a Windows box. Beside, any exploits that might be found that allow such scummy software would be patched and distributed within days. Hence, having an antivirus program on Linux is really unneeded; only if you're running a mail server that filters out Windows viruses do you need one.
Right, and since all Windows users keep their computers patched and up-to-date, we can be asured they would do the same on Linux as well.
And some of you who have the mindset "My OS is invunerable", you're gonna ifnd yourself like the people on the Titanic who swore it would never sink.
