First off, don't pretend that there aren't Mac and Linux viruses. You don't know the people that I do.

There's just more on Windows. But why is that?
Because nobody uses Macs. Period. Despite what the hip commercials seem to portray, Windows has a stranglehold on the global market share. Then when you count servers and such, *nix machines come in second, THEN macs are somewhere in third.
You see, it's just as easy to write a virus for any of the Operating Systems. It's just a matter of what opcodes to call, etc... There's no bugs being exploited in a virus, it's not something that the OS is doing
wrong. I The higher percentage of windows viruses merely means that the VAST majority of machines run windows. Which they do.
Now.
I'm no Microsoft fanboy. I use Linux at home and whenever I can. But you have to call a spade a spade. Windows is inferior to Linux for many reasons, but the number of viruses is not one.
