Survival of the Species (Score 1)

Frankly, it's a bit disturbing to see all the abuse M$ users get. The general view seems to be that if you're running Windows you're a moron, because of all the blatant security holes. I'm not arguing that. Windows has more accessable holes than a hour long gay pr0no. And everybody knows about them. The reason everybody knows about them is that Windows is what the vast majority of people use. It's the standard for the market, and therefore it's subject to the most examination. But that's off topic. The reason that all these viruses are aimed at M$ is the law of the jungle. If you have a huge population of prey, the associated predators grow in population as well. When the majority of users run Windows, the haXOrs aim for Windows systems. A virus vs. Windows is international news. A virus vs. Linux or Macs or whatever, while it might be important to /. fans, is NOT international news. Not enough people are effected. Now please form an orderly line to flame me into oblivion.
