More than half of Linux developers polled by Evans said that they used to do Windows -- 30% were members of the Unixverse. Linux's stability, openness, and cost are its top three strengths, according to the survey.

And it's doubtful that the person who gave us Nimda changes out girlfriends like Hugh Hefner. The CEO of antivirus firm Sophos has nailed down the demographic of your average Joe virus writer: he's a 14- to 34-year-old guy who's obsessed with computers, has no names in his "little black book" (if he even has one), and couldn't socialize his way out of a paper bag. But he knows how to make IT squirm. So maybe in addition to, say, a firewall, your security strategy should include something more organic -- like getting one of these lonely code monkeys a girlfriend.
