If you use Windows and get on a public network, you most certainly will get a virus before you even get fully updated!

Geez, aren’t we being a bit … como se dice … melodramatic? “Most certainly”? You must be speaking of Windows 98. This would also go/could also go for an unpatched Linux or Mac OS X.

People write viruses for ‘systems for the masses’ not for esoteric OSes. If Solaris was as popular as Windows I would almost guarantee you that we would all be talking of the joke that is Solaris. You can’t tell me that Microsoft does not have some of the best programmers in the world. Having ALL the best programmers in the world would still not plug every OS hole unless they only cared for a single line.]]>
