Most developers writing viri are from the micoshaft camp
and have detailed knowledge of APIs through years of learning.
A Linux engineer has knowledge of Linux APIs from years of
learning Linux.
Its very difficult for Linux engineers to know of the
stupidities of windope APIs without years of additional training
as these APIs are completely different, and no source code
is available to quickly work out the total functionality of
windopes API. As the EU trial has also highlighted, even
micoshaft have no documentation on their own APIs.
Fscking IDIOTS! (Its cost them $300 million+ and still counting!)
In short McAfeee has shown itself to be too stupid
first and foremost to identify who are the viri writers.
The viri writers are trained windopes through and through.
If they really want to stop windope viri writers, then
don't hand out any API information.
Or open source all the code so that the idiots who wrote
it can be castigated in public and some form of fix
can be organized eventually.
