"XP machines used by inexperienced people are the main backbone of botnets."

Replace XP machines with Linux machine and we will have the same inexperienced people that uses the computer and will fall pray to what ever malware those virus makers will do and they will elevate that malware's binary regardless of the OS.

The biggest security hole is not in the code, but the user itself regardless of OS(Mac, Windows, Linux).

Linux is not somekind of hallowed ground that prevent the vampiric viruses from entering.

PS: Using an argument that can be used to counter itself is stupid... as using the "I am invincible" argument to counter a so called FUD is equally stupid.
