To the best of my knowledge, there have never been any documentated cases of computer software related alleries. There are however several chemicals used in the process of constructing computer hardware componets which have been linked to allergy illnesses. Maybe Windows users are simply allergic to their computers.

Windows users biggest allergy is to this strange world that involves "make" on other boxes, whatever that is, it strikes me as rather archaic. Personally I find double clicking on an msi file rather easier. Regards. Mark Lawrence.
