Have you perhaps missed by gist? Only one operating system is now
entering into the realm of aiding and even abetting criminals to
engage in all sorts of nefarious activities on the Internet.

Perhaps this is of little concern to your fine self, and it probably
won't be a concern until you or someone you care for is actually
ripped off, has their identity stolen or is hauled up on child
pr0n charges. Any of these (and many other) scenarios are possible
once a Windows box is owned.

The (criminal) market forces are now in place to cause this to happen
at an accelerating pace. It is happening now, all over the world.

It has nothing at all to do with which OS is better, more reliable,
more fun, whatever, and everything to do with one OS: Windows.

If you don't run Windows and you are not an idiot, you will not become
a victim of cybercrime.
