I love it when people put words in my mouth, usually means they don't have a very good argument.
What I will say is that if MS had used better security practices while designing Windows & IE, you wouldn't see botnet numbers like this.
But feel free to keep on thinking whatever it is you are thinking is true.
You just did say that - to rephrase, what you said in the previous sentence is laughable. Malware writers write for Windows because it is available, not because it's not possible to write malware for other systems. We'd just see similar numbers of botnets running on other platforms.
