Everyone but everyone is missing the point...the fundamental benefit of linux even if there was a real virus (and not just a concept) for linux out in the wild is that linux is not a monoculture, diversity is a BENEFIT...there are hundreds of distros of linux, there are more than 1 active browsers in use, more than 1 active email client in use etc ad infinitum...a virus writer has a MUCH harder job in linux due the security design AND the diversity.
