From different statistics published in the web I have noticed a correlation between an increase in the uptake of Linux and: a) Major M$Windoze virus or trojan breakouts. b) Launch of new M$Windoze OS variants (e.g. Win98 --> Win2k, or Win2k --> WinXP). where (b) above appears to be more significant in forcing people to reconsider their options.
