How could you just take a passage like that out of the context and present it as a genuine by-itself idea? Clearly, the author said that with sarcasm, the passage before this one was <<virus writers are an incredibly stupid bunch who understand nothing but 80x86 machine language, and moreover, that's all they need to know to "hack wreavoc" on any operating system. That of course explains why Windows viruses and worms have been so easily transported to Linux systems, completely destroying any and all security there.>> And to answer you question, yes, the article as a whole does seem to be true, not just remotely true. Constantine.
