The idea behind writing a virus is to hit the *masses*, fast and hard.
Windows is the most used client O/S by far. If DEC or Linux was used by
everyone at home then considerable effort would have gone into making a
virus for those platforms.
Can you imagine someone wasting the time to write a virus for Atari or
Amiga? It would infect what? 2 computers maybe?
