I love the sentiment, but here's hoping we're all careful
not to describe Linux as "immune" since to do so only
does us all a disservice.  Linux is NOT immune; it
just seems that way (for now) because we're much more
secure from the start, we (so far) haven't introduced a
bunch of *VPL's to assist the Bad Guys like M$ has, and
we're very well positioned (because we're OSS) to do
something about it anytime somebody does find an exploit.

       include VBscript, M$word macros, Windows
       Scripting Host, etc, etc...
