Why bother write a malware that has got an order of magnitude less chances to spread? Taking that viewpoint means explaining Windows malware like this: http://www.virusbtn.com/virusbulletin/archive/2009/09/vb200909-comment http://www.virusbtn.com/virusbulletin/archive/2009/09/vb2009... That's an old school Windows file infector, if I read the article correctly. Win32/Induc.A infects Delphi compilers only. And yet it spread around all over the place. The author of the link above writes this: "It seems clear that we’ve reached an era where rare dependencies, such as having a compiler on the system, or logic bombs can thrive." Surely linux desktops are far more prevalent than Windows machines with Delphi compilers. This seems like a perfect counter example to the "Market Share" hypothesis. It would seem that the culture of Windows use has some part in their plight.
