I feel that linux is ONE correct choice. MacOS is the another. While macs
may be suceptible to SOME winblows virii, this is only because they can
run M$ software. Funny how M$ propagates more virii than any other 'easy
to use' OS.
Be OS is another good choice- it's got a stable UI, POSIX layer,
and a NICE API (think JDK, but cleaner, and in C++).
There is only ONE problem with virii alerts- I get more virii alerts than
I do virii!!! :?)
