Another Virus

After looking at the latest virus code and at the fact it was a triple threat (used an unknown and unpatched hole in IIS two holes in IE, one unknown the other unpatched and was a completely new and undetected Trojan) is it time for people to finally understand that staying with Microsoft is a loosing proposition?
How many people finally got the idea that since IE is the most used it is the most targeted?
The question though is of the 15% of the internet that downloaded Moz or one of it's variants are going to stay with it? And how many will take the plunge and switch to a Mac or Linux?
And will the virus writers move with the people?

I for one think that most people will stay with IE Windows and BG. That will be enough for the virus writers to stay with MS and the rest of us can get on with our lives and making money by fixing the computers of the 95ers.

Another thing, I know I'm from Canada but does that mean that the Microsoft executive emails have to be in French? I don't speak French, I speak C, C++, java, php, VB (and Asp but don't tell anyone), Pascal, Ada and Fortran but not French.
