I’m a Linux user too. There’s a lot to be said for the OSS system, and there’s also a lot of pitfalls.
A lot of people complain about the walled garden approach Apple has in regards to the App Store. Personally, I like it. It gives me some piece of mind to know that apps have been tested and vetted before they hit my system. My iPhone is first and foremost, a phone. A critical device. One device who’s functionality I would not like to see compromised by malware.
It would really suck to have to start running anti-virus/malware software on your phone or tablet. Don’t you think?
Personally, I think were far too lenient on virus/malware creators.
I’m thinking summary execution is more in order.
But that’s just me.
I'm more of the "cruel and unusual punishment" mindset -- put them on help desk for clueless users. They're released based on the number of people they actually manage to help.
Definitely. That's one of the reasons I run Linux - is so I don't have to give up disk space and cycles to AV software, wait for email up/down-loads, etc.

Or imprisoned for life with nothing but an old VAX 11/780, one dumb terminal, and a buggy FORTRAN compiler. ;-)
