Generally no, given that Windows and Linux use different executable
formats. That being said, you can still spread infected files around --
that is, if you download an infected file under linux, when you try to
open it under windows, it'll infect your windows install.
That being said, Windows XP should be banned from any form of external
communications -- it's quite dead and forgotten by Microsoft.
