The Problem in Architecture In softwares like LINUX / UNIX there is a fine line drawn between the user levels and administrator levels, with compared to Windows.. What i mean is in Window anyone can run .exe/ .dll files that can contain malicious stuff.. but in Linux you'll have to be a root user to do this... so it makes the knowledgeable person does the rough handling... even in Windows they have admin/guest privileges guest's still can add programs that may has sort of .dll files or .exe that causes a system crash!!Simple example is your Outlook & Thunderbird, Oulook is -you know who's technology- while Thunderbird is actually based on Linux mail clients!! And you google around to check about Outlook flaws "be my guest"!!!I remember in some white paper I read Windows is known to more than 50,000 viruses world wide where as LINUX and UNIX is only in 2 digits!! Another reason for this is number of systems that's been connected through Windows!!    2. The number of people who uses itThis purely based on popularity take Outlook still large number of people using it because its bundled with Windows for free... and anyone who needs to test a spy ware attack would test with the software that most people uses!! To make it become more effective.... So in anybodies eye's Outlook is the target....Where as very few people uses Linux and Unix systems, so why make your butt get torned for 2 cents?</blockquote>
