This nonsense gets spouted time and again - Windows is the target not 
just because it is popular but because it is not designed for a network 
world and is insecure by design. If someone wants to target Linux they 
have a far harder time - apps are run with user privileges  not admin 
rights, the whole permission structure etc etc.
