Nice one, Tim.   You throw the "you're getting religious on me" card.

I'm not, but "no thanks"  (I'll keep it clean.) for trying to label  
me in your efforts to win your point.

Can one write malware for a non-Windows platform?  Sure.
Can one run malware from a non-privileged account?  Sure.
Can one get people to install malware on a non-Windows platform?  Sure

Does Windows offer a more attractive target, especially because
a) its huge installed base
b) its proclivity for running in a mode where very few restrictions  
are in place
c) its got more holes than swiss cheese

??

Sure.   But now we're back to "its time to simply ban Windoze  
machines from the Internet."
