Oh dear, the thing I find most concerning about the linux community is it's closed-mindedness to other technologies, I don't believe microsoft is better, I don't believe linux is better, all are good tools for different tasks, don't knock the products because of who the vendor is.
However so as not to digress any further... my point has always been that linux is in no way safe from the virus threat which seems to have been sculpted by the anti-microsoft crowd into a linux is better neener neener account, surely theres nothing wrong with me invoking my sporting nature and playing along with them?
