Re: Market share

Yes, Windows ME is the overwhelmingly dominant OEM Windows version at this point.

Don't worry, as Linux grows in popularity its own strains of viruses are growing along with it. As to why there are more Windows viruses than for any other platform I defer to Willie Sutton the famous bank robber who when asked why he robbed banks simply replied "because that's where the money is."

<< FWIW, I was talking about college students with their own machines. >>

This is really a shame. 90% of businesses have Windows on their desktops. 0% - 1% have Linux.

Too bad these kids will be at such a disadvantage when it comes to finding a job. Knowing how to use MS software is critical to any kind of success in a large majority of the business world.
