Why are we *nux users so apt to spread our beloved OS to all the unwashed masses when what makes us great is a dedicated group of hobbyists and professionals striving to work without the constraints that mass popularity will bring? I for one am glad that *nix's have not caught on an spread like wildfire, because from a security standpoint (my work) we are a tough target because we are small, and whether one realises it or not, we are so ahead in many areas because *nix is the underdog and has to be vastly better to even be considered adequate by the *nix community standards.

I smell a future movie about this. Like Oceans Eleven with atms.
