Actually, the above quote is more correct than your statement. Most of the
destructive code floating around is not aimed at M$ OS, but rather at their
applications. If you don't have M$ Office, M$ IE, and M$ Outlook/Express, then
you are safe from most of the diseased code being emailed about.

So, if you have to work with Windoze, as I do, use a different office suite,
and a different internet suite, and you are safe from more than 90% of the
computer parasites.
