Are Windows always the target?

When Bill started MSDOS it was a revolutionary development and later some people complained that it was difficult to use because is was a CLI type which required many commands to remember and some to know by heart. Al of a sudden malicious softwares were created and till date only Windows are getting affected by these codes.

No known virus that has ever affected Lunix, Unix, and Aple OS systems till today. I know almost all these codes are executable or batch files which Windows mostly is built on. Why hackers do not target the other systems other than windows? Though Microsoft alway patches their softwaes and provide update almost dailly but the viruses are still affecting their system almostly every time.

Windows are so easy to use because they are Graphical User Interface(GUI). It just click click click more,   you do not have to think, microsoft has created everything for you. The other sytems are difficult to use, trust me on that one, some take even  years to master linux. Exe and Bat files are what make the communication between Windows and malicious codes so easy. Though introducing GUI on MSDOS was a smart move for Bill but it also pave the way fro threats.
