I hate when people think that using a different OS means that you are totally safe. I don't care if it is Linux or OSX, viruses are out there and anti-virus software should be used. There is no question that (1) Windows is more susceptible and (2) that there are more viruses for Windows than other OS's, but no OS is completely safe.
You are sending a very bad message by implying that using Linux or some other OS will void the need to protect your computer from viruses. Your hatred for MS is blinding you.
