While it's fine to talk theory, the facts of the matter are fairly 
clear. We run mail servers that see tens of millions of messages monthly 
on behalf of 15,000 users. Out of the thousands of different viruses 
we've encountered over the years, we've never seen one that wasn't sent 
from ms windows.

Perhaps our sample size is too small, but it certainly seems that this 
whole overhyped idea of viruses apart from ms windows is a non-issue in 
practice.
