Well, if *I* were a virus writer, I'd want to target linux because
it's more of a challenge. The only reason I can see for writing
viruses and whatnot is to improve one's knowledge of the systems.
Then again, I would never do that to people, so I guess I don't have
much insight into such a person's mentality.

This is still true, but as linux becomes more user friendly, more
people are using linux with less technical knowledge or interest.
