At least at the university I work for, having a CS degree, or being in the CS program, is no indication of having proper systems administration skills. Perhaps there should also be an SA degree. I don't write algorithms or programs; I manage systems for security, performance and availability.
"Stanford" is not a monolithic computing environment; there is the central IT group, each school and department has their own computer systems, and students in dorms and with laptops deal with their own systems.
I'm a sysadmin for ITSS (the central IT group), and to my knowledge, none of our Solaris or Linux boxes have been compromised. (Nor have our Windows servers.) That said, ensuring that patches have been applied to all machines across campus has been a huge problem (and generally, a much bigger problem for Windows systems.)
Well, I'm an AIX systems adminstrator; I've spent zero time worrying about this, but I have wasted a good amount of my employer's time reading stories from Slashdot and other sources. Can we get money from SCO for that time?
openssh works fine under cygwin. that is what we use.

\Zeal"ot\, n. [F. z['e]lote, L. zelotes, Gr. ?. See Zeal.] One who is zealous; one who engages warmly in any cause, and pursues his object with earnestness and ardor; especially, one who is overzealous, or carried away by his zeal; one absorbed in devotion to anything; an enthusiast; a fanatical partisan.
I think my use of the word zealot describes the type of person that I was referring to perfectly.
A woman who opposes abortion and goes to see a doctor who opposes abortion is not a zealot. A woman who doesn't go to the only doctor who can save her life because the doctor believes in choice is a zealot.
A linux user who chooses to use linux because it does the job that person needs it to do, and who agrees with the linux philosophy is not a zealot. A Linux user who uses Linux only because of the "live free or die" philosophy is a zealot.
Have we strayed far enough off-topic yet?

I meant that if one is using Linux over other, possibly more appropriate, operating systems, simply because of ideology, then that person is a zealot.
If there are multiple "good choices", then I suppose that your view of the "moral edge" that Linux has is as good as any other arbitrary deciding factor.

... for using Linux. If you are using Linux because of an irrational devotion to the "open source - free speech and free beer" ideology, then moving to Mac OS X would be a violation of your principles.
If you are using Linux because you have evaluated the alternatives, and it provides the best bang/buck ratio for the application(s) that you are using or deploying, then using Mac OS X would also be wrong.
But if your goal is to have the power and flexibility of a Unix-like operating system and the device support, smooth, consistent GUI, and application support of a commercial mass-market operating system, then it would be illogical to just discount Mac OS X as a viable option.

I know its not open-source, but we use DocuShare, a Xerox product, for document management. It's not designed for "code management", it's designed for document management. Check it out (I don't have a URL handy, but it shouldn't be hard to find.)
one of your suggested commands (almost) works... Mac OS X PB contains an "open" command, which can be used to launch an GUI application from the command-line.
open/path/to/app/or/document
will open the application specified, or the document specified with the default app for its type.
Now if apple could create an "AppleScript Shell" (assh?) then we could type...
