No, I have no reason to troll, I've been following this thread from the beginning and I think everyone has valid points

If that's not a troll, then back it up.

Blaster Netsky, Sasser, Mydoom - were any of these written on a Linux machine? Can you prove it?

no, I can't prove it, but logic tells me that the guys didn't write them in windows just so they could break their own pc's 8O

I think vampyre needs a bigger hook if he wants to bait

Ya, very possible, but I'm not going to waste my time trying to find evidence that Linux is the superior OS and that most viruses are written on something besides Windows. Your OS choice is your personal preference, Linux people like to struggle, but we also reap the rewards of the struggle in the form of "I can now do it" as opposed to Windos which is pretty much "I'm too lazy to do anything, so do it for me"

Why all the Apple hating. I have a friend who is in the graphic design/DTP business and had the opportunity to play with her Mac last year. It's pretty neat.

Checked out my cousins MacBook here as well. The build and screen quality is awesome! Still prefer my Windows notebook though...

I tried using an eMac once.

Worst bloody nightmare ever.

Much rather use Linux.

Still, I can't wait till Linux consumes over Windows (or, at least has a sizable share in the market).
