This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

To me, that is quite funny: the windows emulation is now so good, even the windows viruses can run on linux! Yay!

Jokes aside, it all depends. There are ways to sandbox things, and every now and then some clever kid figures out how to break out of sandboxes. A lot of the perceived linux security comes from the fact that most virus authors target the biggest chunk of the market, windows pcs. Most bang for the buck.
