You always need to be carefull when making generalisations based on a small 
sample ! 
They (the generalisations) are apt to come back and bite you on the bum!
The statement above is possibly true in =your= area and there will be 
instances where it is true.
In the Brisbane area, PC's win by a country mile. I'd guess and state that 
Brisbane would be typical. 
If that were not so, Apple would have a =much= larger share in the PC stakes 
than the 7-12% (depends on whose figures you use) they currently have.
Asd such, all schools that I deal with have an anti-virus strategy.
I'g venture to guess that if Mac's had won the market share, there would be a 
plethora of viruses for them and hardly any for the IBM PC compats.
