Actually, a lot of epidemiologists credit the conditions of WWI for allowing the flu to become a pandemic. The close quarters of trench warfare were conducive to the evolution of an easily transmissible and very deadly contagion, and the unusually high mobility (soldiers going overseas/returning home all the time) helped it spread worldwide.
Besides regarding Windows, isn't it true that, "running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC. That means it'll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world?" I would call it due diligence, warning prospective Mac users installing Windows XP that they will be opening their Windows PC to a whole world of vulnerabilities virtually unheard of on a Mac.
Actually I think the warning is more for PC users who have heard that "Macs have less viruses" or some such and somehow believe that running Windows on a Mac will make them magically immune.
