Maybe they should consider running their OS's in VMs.

From the article:

    It's an odd balance between tech that's obsolete enough to not be a target, but current enough to still work

A Mac Host OS would be less likely to have a virus than a contemporary Windows OS.

Out of the box, Win3.x doesn't run well in at least VirtualBox. Perhaps there are appliances for it somewhere but I don't know where.
