Mac Question

No. Of course there's more viruses for something more widely used. Why would someone bother targeting a company with such a small market share?

What has "more programs means more viruses" got to do with there being more programs combatible with Windows? There are more programs available for a Windows machine, but you said more viruses like the two are conjoined?

And I think it's pretty obvious if something is cheaper more of it will be purchased. Most people wont care what operating system they're running, they want whatever works, and whatever's cheapest. Ever hear of Linux netbooks?

Using that logic, there should be more Linux machines out there than Windows machines

Nono. They're not directly connected. I mean, yes Windows has more applications, which is great for Windows. There's more applications because there's more users. There's also more viruses for Windows because there are more users, so there's more of an audience to target.

Extremely portable computers, and regular PCs are two separate industries.
