I haven't seen an actual "virus" in several years now. virus resistance relies too much on educated users.

It's not doomsday for Antivirus companies today. -- "Is there anything in Guul Draz that doesn't suck the life out of you?" - Tarsa, Sea Gate sell-sword.

Curious as to why people are so quick to defend their favorite os. It's not like they wrote the thing so why take it so personal.
