The insecurity of MS products is going to drive many toward secure
software, from wherever, just so the business can survive.  Not many
small businesses can survive being cracked.  I just about a business
that got hit by Nimbda and it cost $75K in cold hard cash.  It is a
large enough business to survive that expenditure, but they are looking
at ways to keep that from every happening again.  It doesn't have to be
Linux but just secure and effective from the management perspective.

And yes, I agree that I should tone down my "Windows is trash;Linux is
number one" attitude!  It is hard to pass up opportunities to gloat
though! ;-)
