: So? Had the virii been an application compiled for RedHat and
: everyone ran RedHat instead of Windows and they downloaded it using
: Evolution and double clicked on it, it would suddenly be RH's fault
: instead of MIcrosoft's?
I suspect the skill set/clue of RH users is at least an order
higher that windows users.
The main problem I see is many e-mail readers default to having
the preview plain open and this will then run any app it finds.
No clicking required.
