You're missing the point. Everybody likes a good story like Romeo and Juliet. But it takes a Shakespeare to rewrite that old tale into a masterpiece. Sure, microsoft has a very large collection of stories, but they are not necesarily told in the best fashion. Money does not create a masterpiece, that's the job of unpaid inspiration.
To put a simple example, all you have to do is take a look at the smb network protocol that microsoft uses. A quick paging through the Samba documentation will show you that the microsoft approach to it's own network protocol is far removed from the way it actually works (which is more akin to a dynamic www based on "master servers"). It is no wonder that this protocol is only good for small networks, unless, of course, you switch to a linux approach, which gives you the liberty of using a smb "browser".
You certainly don't use xfwm (the window manager included in xfce). Not only does it have great support for new stuff like the xinerama extensions to xfree4.x, but it is constantly being improved. Eventhough it is already top notch, xfwm improves so quickly that it is quite difficult to keep up to date, especially if you look keep track of the CVS updates.

My server normally runs from 1-2 K hits per hour. With this new worm variant has it in the 5K+/hour range. And it's coming from all over the place.
