As a I wrote, why would someone waste the time to create a virus that will onlyattack 6 machines out of every 500 computers.

Glory. It's why they all do it. No profit in it (unless the virus WRITERs work for a virus SCANNER company, as I have thought possible.)

It hasn't been done.

Look, I don't care. If Windows is good enough for you, then use it. But I do wonder why so many people claim that Windows computers are cheaper, and then spend hours and hours on dealing with virus crap and antivirus crap, and value their own time at nothing.

I, for One, am more comfortable being one of the enlightened 6 than being one of the 500 proles whose OS/machine is dependent upon a company that ignores its flaws until they're screamed-about in public (kinda like Kofi and Koko(?) when it comes to oil-for-food; but they're a little slower yet than µsoft)...

As a I wrote, why would someone waste the time to create a virus that will onlyattack 6 machines out of every 500 computers. That's a potential infected base of over 10 million systems -- systems often directly marketed to the first timer, "I know nothing of computers or security" crowd. Why pass up that?
