Misinterpreted. I think that is about the best word around to describe the reactions to my previous article. Whether it has been misinterpreted due to people only reading what they want to read, due to an unclear choice of words on my behalf, or other factors, I am going to try it again. I will try to explain my position, again. Now, more stable, the code has been rewritten from scratch!

Linux already has high market penetration in servers, so why haven't we seen a horde of viruses unleashed to attack servers running Apache?
I would imagine that most people writing Windows virii/worms are actually using Windows desktops, so it makes more sense to program on platforms that you are familiar.
If you were to go back and look at all the hacking/cracking tutorials on the Internet in the early-to-mid 90s (back when the Internet was mostly the domain of Unix gurus and before hacking Windows became a professional sport), you'd find that almost every single one of them were for Unix.
