Between the hard fact that MS-Windows sites were hit heavily and non-MS
sites hardly at all, and MS' insistence that there are no security
problems with _their_ software, I see an alternate explantion:  All those
MS users are still desparately looking for love, while us Unix geeks have
written it off as a bad deal and are instantly suspicious of any
protestations of love.
