The ignorance of windows users, regarding security, is only a part of the problem, which is all too well documented for me to attempt to recite evidence of such herein. <strike>cheap DOS shell</strike> Windows is a very sophisticated "kick me hard" sign, stuck upon the user's backside. The fact that this sign seems to be in Korean suggests to me that our wired Korea is more wires than knowledge and, in that sense, is as slow as Americans back in the States. There were no zombie OSX machines in this recent internet attack either. ggoma, that last part of your post is not accurate.

Mac is just one of the many unix spawns with pretty clothes on. The only reason Windows is less safe is because so many people use it, and most of them dont know or care about secuirty. A rightly configured windows is just as safe as a mac or linux :/ The conception that Mac is more secure than a Windows is a misconception.

Nethack is just sooo uber! (Seriously, if you think there's a good selection of games for the Mac, you've been in Korea for too long. :P ) And don't even get me started with how complicated email is on Windows! You mean I have to click <i>twice</i> on that little icon? I mean -- that's just so hard!

there are decent games on OSX and email is simpler in OSX than Windows

Linux really is great for running network servers too -- far better than Windows. Most Windows users are ignorant of what they are using and thus facilitate criminals through their ignorance. As it is, the new Windows (Vista) will not work with any banking or ticketing sites in Korea (and has major security flaws), though efforts are being made to fix that at this time. Because Korean sites rely so heavily upon Windows and Microsoft javascript (a proprietary version), they are inherently unsafe for financial transactions of any kind.

Few people care that OS-X is superior for sound and video editing, and even fewer people care that Linux is safer for running network server. Most computer users want to play games and send email, which Windows allows them to do. Yeah, Linux and OS-X are victims of their own geekiness.

Although Windows has more for many reasons there are not zero for Linux or OSX... And besides, you can't blame Koreans or Chinese or Americans for using Windows... There are no freaking games available on Linux or Mac... except maybe Doom or Minesweeper. And in the end, it is games that drive most of the PC industry.
