Good call dude, just flippantly disregard the issues brought up.  This is the kind of talk that makes people call people like you PC elitists instead of just PC fans.  If you could express your love of PC without sounding like such an annoying pain in the ass maybe people would actually listen to what you have to say instead of tuning you out like the whining of an unwanted mother in law.

Maybe you didn't read the other 2 or 3 posts I made in this thread doing exactly as you said, addressing the issues brought up. Viruses are not an issue, because they are not a PC problem, they are a user problem. If it were a PC problem I would have been getting them all the time, as would have many other people. The fact that there are people who haven't had any sign of a virus for years is proof enough that the user is at fault, not the machine. People just like to blame their PCs because they don't want to blame their momentary, or maybe permanent, idiocy.

You don't see me bitching and whining about how stupid my car is because I ran into a fance. Same deal with viruses and PCs.

The fact that there are people who know enough about computers not to get virusses or are just lucky doesn't make everyone who gets them an idiot who opens bad emails. Problems on the PC can happen without opening stupid emails they would happen to me every few months while I was playing WoW rigorously. 

Just writing off everyone who has troubles with viruses and spyware as being an idiot is honestly the stupidest thing anyone has said in this thread. 

Yer right I don't blame my car when I run into a fence, but what about when it just starts running strangely without any plausible reason?  Damn straight I'll blame the car then.
