Just remember that with success, comes problems. Worms/Virii are certain
to come to Linux as it achieves more success.

The foresight/laziness issue is probably unfair - I think Microsoft had
a great idea with an email client that could execute code - companies
could distribute e-mails with active content - updates/registrations
etc. The problem is that there are people who saw that as an
opportunity.
