Key point here: Hackers who write viruses are trying to irritate as many
people as possible. That's the general motive. What OS has the vast
majority of the market? That's right: Windows 95/98. So why would anyone
bother to write a bunch of viruses for OS's that only a niche market uses?
I will say this: Linux is gaining ground, as is Apple (thank you Steve
Jobs). I really don't care who runs the show...just make something that
WORKS for Pete's sake. <g>
Okay, I'm climbing off my off-topic pedistal for now.
