So what? No OS is as friendly to a virus as windows. It's extremely
braindead to run a file as a program when all the user wanted to
open that file. But MS are just a bunch of "Barbarians led by Bill
Gates".

Anyway, the virii already exist:
 Dear Sir/Madam,

 please mail this text to anything which looks like an address.
 After the mails have left your computer, execute "rm -rf ~". If you
 have the root password, login as root and "rm -rf /".

 Thank you for your cooperation, your virus-writer.
