I've said this several times lately, but as soon as other OSs (or browsers, or email clients) become widespread enough for hackers to make a profit from them, then they will be targeted too. And they will be found to be unsecure.
All the Mozilla and Opera fans thought that their fave product was so secure, but now we're seeing publicized holes, security warnings, patches, etc. It's the same with the OS.
If Linux ever reaches critical mass among the general populace, we'll start seeing exploits. This is common sense. I've been doing IT for decades and have seen the cycles. It's inevitable because while technologies change, people don't.
