 @94ee12b4 I run Linux, and am very conscious of digital security (I consult on it, too)... The vast majority of malware exploits target Windows users because they're a) very common, and b) mostly painfully naïve about their own online risk profile.  1/2 @76e09d2b

 @94ee12b4 There are some malware that target other systems (Apple users are similarly oblivious, but are a somewhat smaller, albeit far richer per-capita target) including Linux, however, having used Linux exclusively (& professionally) since 1994, I've never succumbed to any (knocks on wood).   @76e09d2b

I left winpc and used Android since 2011 April with the #motorolaxoom  with Honeycomb (Android 3)

So nice to be all Android all the time, 😎

 @94ee12b4 @76e09d2b I prefer to go to the source of goodness and avoid Google altogether - proper Linux is where it's at from my perspective.

 @94ee12b4 @76e09d2b and I've been giving Redmond, Palo Alto, & Cupertino the finger since 1994. No regrets there.
