Actually I'm REALLY GLAD that linux owns such a tiny share of the desktop PC market. This means that evil virus hackers have almost ZERO incentive to invest their time crafting attacks on linux desktops.

I'd say you've got it backwards - the high value targets are the servers more so than the desktops. Banks, telecomms, etc. One successful hack there could be a gold mine, where a single user's desktop is kinda useless small potatoes. rb
