People’s computers are infected, but they don’t know about it, so these computers are sending out spam w/ nasty payloads all day.
I get a few emails w/ nasty payloads all the time from the various NPC email addresses I receive email for. I don’t have any virus scanner or detector. Apple’s Mail.App just happily file them into my Junk folder.
Life is too short for messing w/ Windows, unless one gets paid to do it.
You beat the competition, but go with the alliance. It is just a very simple rule. Computer software is not my business; the battle of the sexes are best left their respective related companies.
Your suppliers are only your alliance as long as you get maximum benefit from them.
When the majority of your competitors using Windows pay high price licences suffer downtime and data loss, by not going along with what everybody else are using you suffer none of these, then you are getting an advantage over them. Right tools for the job. This is what beating the average is about.

I am getting on average about 1 spam email with some sort of virus in it a day…

In a business world, one has just got to stay with the flow no matter how unhappy it would be to do so.

No.
In a business world, one has to beat the average to survive. Check out http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html.
The resources needed to babysit Windows machines are probably too expensive for small businesses to bear. SMEs may be better off with Macs or Linux.

My analogue was not perfect.

That is, assuming the “right tools” actually does the necessary job, not just a whole bunch of other jobs that may or may not be necessary.
