All Things Microsoft > Microsoft as a Company
Windows users unprotected against viruses

Well ... doesn't it also mean that they have more money to throw around and get thing patched up and secure and working ... no ... Bill pockets it all and leaves his customers to deal with these minor issues ...
toadlife:
If money is the answer, why do other companies like Oracle which also have billions of dollars have much worse security records than Microsoft?

Interesting turn of events - by using Linux, I am helping my mother's Windows computer become more secure. More of you people need to switch to Linux - eventually, my mother will have a spyware-free environment.
:roll:

And then developers of spyware will switch to the linux platform amd then you have the same problems with linux that you had with windows...

So then you switch to another OS again. And the cycle continues... :D
But seriously, everyone always says that if Linux had Windows's marketshare, it would have lots of viruses. But that idea misses something - how about nothing has such a marketshare? I'm really interested in knowing what the threat would be in Windows, Linux, and Mac OS were each given a third.
