can really a virus do that? i don't think so.

(I've got this beatifull water+green grass+blue sky picture with SUSE 9.1!)
don't compare Mac to windows, because they run in different machines (apple vs x86)
about linux, it's "user friendlyness" is very far from windows'. In 2001 you could connect an usb pen drive and Windows xp automatically detected it and "mounted" it in an unit (asigned a drive letter). Today, 2004, I haven't seen any linux able to do that. Just an example of the user friendly.
M$'s integration is much better than linux', imo. Example: everywhere in windows you can do Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V to copy-paste things. In linux... well, that depends on the program. It may be select, middle click or Ctrl+K, Ctrl+Y or Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc... There's no a clear unification of the way things are done. That's the point where linuxers have to improve their kernel, programs, etc...
And Windows has security holes? yes, the same as linux. But the ones of linux are less known and are constantly updated in next versions. A important thing to know is that Windows OS is way bigger than the kernel of Linux. THere are very much more lines of code in Windows. It's normal that there are bugs.
With all this, i do not mean that windows is better. It has better things. Linux too. But for the final user, the in-home user, I'd highly recommend Windows.
