Ok, this is just silly. If you ban windows machines from the internet you'd just get a bunch of linux and osx botnets... Botnets run on windows because they are the majority population, not because they are inherently easier to write botnets for.
Linux has some advantages when it comes to serving in a botnet, such as increased stability and more reliable networking. Perhaps Solaris would be even better.
On a more serious note, it's refreshing to do my weekly updates, and know that all my vulnerable software is getting updated. No anti-virus, and no anti-spyware, it's nice.
