You said it all. Linux and Unix are as suceptible as Microsoft. You just don't hear about it as much.

The Microsoft attacks are in line with "well, Honda Civics are the most widely stolen vehicles on the planet...we should sue Honda! Can't they do something to keep the thieves from stealing them." The whole time the thieves are stealing them; not because they are easy to steal, but becuase their numbers are greater and they are easier targets becuase of their commonality.

Is the reason Macs seem less vulnerable to viruses that there are fewer of Macs used, or is it that the OS system is more resistant to attacks?

I have always wondered about that.
