the only reason Windows isn't a virus, is because viruses are usually small, fast, efficient, and well-backed by their authors I run Linux Ubuntu 10.04lts on my overclocked Athlon64 dualcore
It's amusing to know that a few virus programmers are better than the entire Microsoft brain trust. +1 for Ubuntu!
Yeah, too bad they can't pull their heads out of their asses long enough to put that talent to good use. And let's be honest, it doesn't take much to be better than Microsoft!
