Well, I'd hardly be the only one getting a thwacking. Almost completely across the board Linux users tend to have a certain degree of smugness when it comes to Linux vs. Windows. We don't really mean to come across as sanctimonious, but Microsoft just makes it so damn easy when their software leaves its users open to such a ridiculous level of attacks from viruses and worms. So, don't hate me because I use Linux - hate Microsoft for the ineptitude that subjects their users to countless hours of frustration and misery...
