Regardless of the value of Linux or Unix in general, the answer is  not
correct. The only reason the Linux is virus free so far is because so few
people use it that virus writers have no incentive to write them.

If and when Linus becomes popular enough, you can bet your bottom paisa that
there will more virii for Linux than there are for windows.

Have a peaceful and joyous day.
