As Linux becomes more and more popular, I think the threat of Linux viruses
will become more significant. For one, more and more closed-source,
binary-only software will become available -- and requested by Management.
For another -- and this is worse -- as more and more lusers start using Linux,
we will see more of them using install-and-run pre-compiled binaries from
untrusted sources.
