Arash Pour... Windows is used by 95% of computers in world. Hackers, virus coders, and etc don't care about linux or those types (3% of people) and Mac users (2% of people). They want big news. They want big chaos and mayhem. They want biggest target. Who know what flaws live in linux and macs, that has those explots or worse, just because they got a tiny share of compuuters?
Windows: 1% affected: one million of users easy
Mac: 1% affected: maybe 100 people?

hey seems u r a windows fan 
its incredible!unless u work 4 them;)hehe! let be serious, it is NOT a good reason dat becoz 90 %(i don know how u counted it!)of computer consumers use windows it is ok to be a weak OS!on the other hand dont you know that NO virus can be installed or worked on a MACOS ? it is obvious that popularity of windows -despite of being a buggy OS- is far behind being a good and relaible OS.

I think that windows OS is a great system mainly for applications though i cant even start to count the number of times my computer crashed..the thing is that Bill dont be finishing what he started..he just releases them and then now look what happened..eventhough we get service packs and security updates..or more even..crutial updates..some of them wouldnt be nes if the programs were in the OS in the first place..i never tried mac before so i cant say nothing about it..i tried a lil linux and i'd say that windows do crash more though..to me the biggest mistake microsoft ever made was when they made Windows ME..thats a kick in the ass right there..I could agree with the no virus can be installed on a mac but you and i know that not everything is perfect..one time or another someone will find a weak spot
