Actually, you guys have the analogy totally wrong.  Windows is the host
body, not the disease itself.

Say your network is your local city.  Windows is the crack head prostitute
running around open to disease and helping to spread them.  Sure you don't
get infected if you don't use with her, but you still have to waste money
paying for her welfare.

If you are going to bash something, do it properly and accurately. :p
