How do you see a worm that takes advantage of a security problem with Windows negatively affecting the UNIX community's image?

I mean, I've pretty much given up on Microsoft products, mainly because of these continual security problems. Why haven't others done the same? -Bill -- "Where's the robot to pat you on the back?"
