Ron is absolutely right. If the last big Microsoft IE/IIS bug was not
enough to get people to change platforms, the next one won't be,
either. Indeed, an apparently infinite series of prior big bugs didn't
do the job.

Assuming that IT managers are going to "get it" about security
because of disasters happening overlooks their stellar past history
of ignoring disasters!  If you try to strike a match 10,000 times
and it doesn't light; you aren't likely to get a spark on the 10,001st
try, either.
