Another stupid statement from wRonG!  Windows isn't a malware magnet 
because it is easy to do, it is because it is the dominant OS.  Just like 
Android is the dominant OS in the portable world and it is as big a 
malware magnet.

OSX and Linux don't see much in the way of actual in the wild malware 
because they are a bit harder to do and they are a much smaller presence.
