Well if you don't believe me that Windows and IE are attacked more because of the large install base, maybe you'll believe a source like LinuxWorld.
Linux is also generally seen as a lower-risk platform than Windows, partly because it is less widely used on the desktop and therefore isn't targeted as often. The security picture is changing, though, according to the Symantec report, with platforms like Linux and Mac OS X coming under increasing scrutiny by potential attackers.
Now should I go back to all those threads where you were claiming otherwise and I was disagreeing (trying to use logic) and bump those with this post? Or will you go back and review your comments and realize how wrong and misguided you were in your naive thinking?
This thread has to be hurting :-)

In part or in some degree;not completely.
Are you saying you agree with Linux world when they say that thats only part of the reason? Because I have said that market share does not damage your hit profile, it only affects how many people are shooting at it.
But lets say Linux world said it was completely market share, what would I do then... Ummm I would just disagree with them. Unlike you and GE I don't get marching orders, provided on index cards, for any of my views. I come to them myself through my education and experience...
