I am willing to bet that, if Linux actually ever does increase its
desktop market share, the number of viruses/worms for it will go up
tremendously as well, for two reasons:
1) Only critical mass will make anyone care to write them.
2) As a more naive user community comes on-board, they will update their
systems to reflect security advisories much less frequently than the
geekerie do.
