Wrong. Many server mainframes are using Linux instead of Windows, and using Linux viruses would cause a much more serious effect on the Internet, and thus giving the reason to make Linux viruses a much better reason instead of Windows viruses.

Maybe most people wont see the viruses as most people uses Windows, but this might also be the best for the virus makers.

And a lot of people know this, but why are there no viruses for Linux? Perhaps because you can't write them? Hmmm?

EDIT: Oh and, I don't hate MS without reasoning. I have a lot of reasons why I hate MS.
