The problem is that these viruses are based on user 
stupidity/unawareness. A script attached to a mail sent to a Linux 
system would do just as much damage to files the user has full 
access to. If a user doubleclicks an unknown attachment in 
Windows, you can bet he'd do the neccesary things to open the 
script in Linux too.

So though I agree that moving to Linux is smart for a lot of people, 
Linux would be just as vulnerable if some spotty teen with a big 
brain wanted to do some damage to Linux users.
