You exaggerate. If Linux had the same users as Windows it too would require anti-virus and anti-spyware tools. Linux does require almost daily security patches, more frequently than windows I think. Luckily on Linux a reboot is seldom required. I just reconfigured a system from Ubuntu to Windows XP and the desktop suddenly seemed a lot snappier. Having siad that, I'm running SC on Linux and I wouldn't have it any other way. SC works best on Linux/Unix, because Perl works best on Unix. It works pretty well on Windows, but just not quite as good.
