Hei Ben That is not correct! - Remember the time, when WordPerfect was _the_ wordprocessor in the big struggle/battle with Microsoft Word 5.x? - There was still a lot more vira for the MSWD than for the WPfct - and still 99.9% of all these vira were/are only on the Wintel platform.... This has nothing to do with marketshare, but with the ease of accessing and destroying through the way that the programs are built. - But of course more copies might be infected, because there are more copies around.
