I don't care what defective operating system a worm uses.
Yes. Lets recall that the first worm on the net was a sendmail worm, and attacked UNIX systems. I'm no friend of Windows either, but a little humility is in order. Windows is attacked because it is ubiquitous, not because it is vulnerable. If the whole world ran Linux, the attacks would be on Linux machines.
