Linux vs. Windows Viruses. SecurityFocus: Linux vs. Windows Viruses He focuses too much on email; a buffer overflow in inetd could take down Linux machines just as effectively. The number of worms/viruses doesn't matter, either; it only takes one. [Hack the Planet]

Bull. The number of Viri is an indicative of how sensitive a population is to sickness. When you do an analogy you are supposed to think about the analogy. If I told you such tribe in the Amazon was very healthy because only a couple of viri affect them, you would believe that was a measure of health. Cognitive dissonance is what makes you not accept the argument in computers. Also, most viri/worm has been transmitted through email, so focusing on email is adecuate.
