“Linux is great for people who don’t have to do serious work on a computer.”

That’s a laugh. Linux is a far superior software development platform to Windows. Further, Linux is also a much more robust server OS, as well as powering some of the most powerful supercomputers.

If you need to run a Windows program, you can always run a VM in VMware or VirtualBox. At least the malware is isolated from the rest of the system that way...

But then you’ve got to figure out how to get the results from the windows VM over to Linux- I can’t figure out how to do it-
