Yes. Windows users have to have Anti-Virus or other scanning programs because Microsoft doesn't get that it should have a secure operating system. Those system patches? They're simply to implement things like different funny computer sounds for different tasks. Most people don't know this and keep all the sounds default.

They just don't have a lot. Why not? Simply because people don't care to mess with the 'smaller market share' Apple, or the coder of the virus was a disgruntled Linux user.
