It may be
a game of numbers, but either way there are less things to worry about once Windows is out of the equation.

As to being targeted more, sure, almost certainly true, but the fact remains that there's very little damage a virus could do to a *nix system without knowing the root password. It's a public/private key pairing at 512 bit, so even GCHQ haven't cracked it (yet) - I doubt some script kiddie could do it.

Personally, I can't do the stuff I do in Windows - it just doesn't stand up for doing serious stuff. It's fine for browsing the web, email, films , music etc... but try and make it do some serious work and it's just the wrong tool for the job.
