And once again I quote myself:
All OSes have the problem, maybe not as bad as Windows but they still have it.

Now explain how that’s saying the problem is equal for all?

"Maybe not as bad"??? OK, last time, I promise. If you can't understand this, no more from me.

* There is malware written for every OS.

* If the malware is effective, it is a problem for the OS.

* If the malware is not effective, it is NOT a problem for the OS.

You keep saying that "all OSes have the problem", but you are unable to name even one virus that successfully infects a few thousand properly patched relatively recent Unix systems. Do so now, please.

"Maybe?!"

What world are you living on, Discostu? Do you seriously intend to spread doubt that Microsoft Windows ISN'T the most infected, malware ridden OS of all of them?

This implied exaggeration from you is the very thing we are talking about in this discussion. Do you seriously maintain that the fact that malware for Windows outnumbers malware for all other OSes combined—at least a hundred times over—is controversial? Come on, Man. That's absurd. And that is why you lose this discussion.

Your attitude seems to be that a leak in the kitchen sink is the same as the sinking of the Titanic... and that people should be equally worried about both! More absurdity.
