No, its that PC users are tired of mac users lying about their systems working perfectly to try and show intellectual or class superiority -- or some such thing.

Just payback for the interminable Windows bashing that goes on. In 23 years of PC using I've had two viruses. One was Melisa, which got past all the best virus scanners for the for a couple of days. Fortunately it didn't destroy anything.
The other was in a game I downloaded from CNET. Not a virus, but a package of adware. That was the worst. CNET pulled the game after a couple of days.
