Another reason to drop Kaspersky?

If less people were using Windows, malware / trojans problems could be more manageable. Hence the (not happening) shift to Mac, Linux, BSD etc-SKA (September 28, 2010, 10:01 PM)

There, ftfy.

Dear f0dder
In a roundabout way - you do agree the problem is windows <grin>
I agree for general public - there is still no shift from Windows -> other OS's in 2011, but for geeks, nerds.... surely its happening now ?

On point, though, surely if less people were using Windows, security issues with other OS's would rise accordingly, regardless of any built in process monitoring? Look at the increase in nasty stuff written to target OSX. I think that Linux is less susceptible to security issues not only for the much touted reason that "its market share is infintesimal so why bother writing malware, viri, trojans, etc. for it" but also because Linux users are generally far more tech savvy than most and are more likely to montior actiivity on their systems. No?
