...if there weren't so many criminals targeting Windows it wouldn't be such a problem. If Apple or Unix were the dominant platform, I guarantee you would see the same level of hacks on those platforms.

So tell me--do Yugos and Volvos and Mercedes and Fords all have the same number of defects per car? Does quantity sold indicate quality of product?

Code is exactly the same. "Market share" or number of desktops in existance does not determine the number of hacks available to compromise the code.

Flawed analogy.

Better analogy: does General Motors stay up nights working on ways to compete with Rico Motors' line of passenger cars? Do they come up with ways to make Rico's Motors' cars break down? Of course not. They focus on the bigs.

Hackers don't focus on the OS's that a relative handful use. But, as recent articles have shown, they're also vulnerable, once the cyberthugs turn their baleful eyes thither.

That's a better analogy. Not friendly to your grudge, maybe, but better.
