a 'security hole' in XP (2k3/2k/nt/98/95/3.1/ms-dos) has ever kept an MS product from FLYING off the shelf... give the 'average user' all 5 (or six) of the latest, _easy to use_ *nux and happily he'll waddle his fat ass right up to bestbuy and have a copy of vista... llooongg before he ever figures out how to use crontab, configure the network or learn what a man page is; gladdly paying the $300? $400? for an MS os/office bundle. the 'average user' is a dumbass and no amount of security will fix that. remember, these are the people in the video professor commercials "oh, my three year old knows more about computers than i do..." and no one who knows her is the least suprised. when the release date draws near, I am buying MS stock...
