22. I've used Linux and Windows for years.....still no viruses.
I don't use Outlook or Outlook Express for my email, so generally speaking I never have much to worry about. There have only been a few viruses that haven't been spread by email (blaster being the most famous of the non-email related viruses). Even if I got a virus, not using an email client that uses the windows or outlook address book to store contacts, it's unlikely I could spread them.

I always think it's funny that people gloat over having a mac, but as gamer, I like Windows and a smart user can avoid viruses with little to no trouble.
