They care very little about the Guru somewhere that preaches them how the malware was unable to affect the system files, and how that proves the security glory that is Linux. They tell everyone how "a virus" "destroyed" their Linux, just like a "virus" destroyed their Windows earlier. They tell Linux seems no more secure.
It isn't more complicated than that.
Kind of like using 2nd Graders to research in nuclear fission/fusion.
You mean that the people who would begin using Linux, should it ever grow popular on desktop, would not behave like that? Have you ever spoken to a non-geek in your life? Have you watched a non-geek use a computer? Seriously, check your attitude. There's a world out there. And that world is not populated by Linux professionals. And no, these people are not 2nd graders. They are.. err.. computer users? Anyway, Linux desktop is too difficult for them. So fear not, they're not coming. So no need to experiment/research on them.
