Adam it was a point not that it actually happens. But if i used windows on my desktop it would be expected that i bought a virus scanner @ about £50, spyware/malware protection @ about £20 - £30, an office suite (microsoft would prefer it it if was ms office too) @ £500+ depending on the flavour. With linux all i have to do is spend about an hour d/ling a distro off the net. I then spend 45 mins installing it and bob's your uncle fully working os with office suite and more tools that i care to mention (that would cost hundreds of pounds to get a similar amount for windows) that's virtually virus proof and no one bothers writing malware for because they won't be able to get it to run on the remote system.
