but with some wrong points
even apple and linux can be filled with virus
a good quality of windows is that with virus also it works good as regular computer if you need a complement then ask Fidato

na he had the correct points , very few viruses are made for linux as its not recognised as a commercial product , i mean its free & not many people use it !
& linux File systems are completely different from windows , so most of windows virused dont work in linux.

& we gotta accept linux is faster & efficient than windows because many people develop it & the best is chosen
even you can submit a code for linux OS & they choose the best & most efficient codes.
& most of the servers are linux as they are extreamly efficient @ networking & most of the networking languages like PHP , HTML , JAVA & many others support linux.

Windows! no doubt

The reason why linux don't have many viruses is because it isn't much popular compared to windows.

I still have windows 98 SE on one of my desktops. Super fast, try it sometimes.

Just be careful to install a good anti-virus software.
