"But I'm afraid as soon as Linux reaches "world dominiation", it will become the primary target of malware authors and there will be Linux viruses and worms. "

But OSS software *is* already dominating the (internet) world: apache, bind, ntpd, sendmail, openssh, ... OSS is in fact _the_ target to take over the internet, it's all over there and there is even the source to get your proof of concept working!
