Get real. Microsoft is targeted because Microsoft is the target. If 98%
of the world was running Unix, Linux, or some Apple OS, the hackers
would go after them. The problem is everyone jumping onto the latest OS,
making it easy to target "your prey".

The reason you cannot is because companies/groups like AOPA waste time and
money developing platform specific products because the programmers don't
know any better. Enough time and money is wasted on Microsoft viruses that
anyone interested in economy should at least permit, if not encourage,
migration to more robust - or at least more diverse - platforms.

I do that. When Apple finally joined the UNIX world, it became a *lot*
easier.

But here we find an organization of which I'm a member working in precisely
the opposite direction. Annoying.
