I think John's unique selling point is that he does *not* use Windows.

Any sensible organisation realises Windows provides a fertile ground for 
viruses.

It has been estimated that viruses cost over $50Bn over the last three years. 
This is almost exclusively due to clearing up Windows systems. That is one 
hell of a hidden cost of deploying Windows throughout an organisation. It 
is probably on a par with the cost of downtime due to using Windows...
