I always thought Windows malware was a terrific way to get Windows

Linux to fix the damn thing is a step in the wrong direction. If
they want anti-virus products for their proprietary systems, they
should be willing to pay for it like all their other proprietary
software. If they think that's unreasonable, then they should be
screaming at the schmucks who are selling them their brittleware.
Perhaps we could get them interested in the product by showing it fixing
Windows (which is a hard task in anyone's mind) after malware has
rendered it unusable. IMO, this linux eliteism is what is keeping it
from being adopted. It's, God forbid, getting as bad or worse than mac
eliteism.
I still have a Windows machine, simply because it can run programs that
linux can't. I assume many other people do the same. Stop treating
linux as the only solution (though I agree it should be PART of the
solution).

Well put, Andrew. I like your attitude.
