Open source experts have hit back at a study published by the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team that said more vulnerabilities were found in Linux/Unix than in Windows in 2005, labelling the report misleading and confusing. The report has attracted criticism from the open source community. Linux vendor Red Hat said the vulnerabilities had been miscategorised, and so could not be used to compare the relative security of Windows and Linux/Unix platforms.

Yes, but now many of those developers are writing C#/.Net. And you'll see those programs porting to mono a lot easier than VC++/com/etc would port to *nix.
The reason I said 40 years was that a graduate today is 22, and 40 years later he'll be at a typical retirement age of 62. I was trying to clarify that I didn't mean people graduating today would instantly be out rewriting all in-house software.
There was no grand meaning to 40 years.
