Yawn. Another "UNIX-based systems suck" post.
There are several distributions of Linux, and several types. No guarantees the software would be inter-compatible. 'nuff said.
Actually, Linux usually won't even need security software in the first place. You're right about some points, but not all of them. I'm going to say that your points about the victims in the scenarios you gave are relevant. And the ones who can't find the print button are just idiots. We need to get tough on the criminals, yes, but, however... it helps if people take better measures to make it harder to occur too.
So Linux is the answer... but it is the only answer? No. There's Mac OS X.
