Which means that no single exploit could bring down more than 50% of all computers, where a single Windows exploit now can bring down 90%.
But to get real diversity, you need to get the biggest market share under 10% - and get the number of common OS up to 15 or so.
Which is why, IMO, the monoculture argument is overstated. Getting down from 90% Windows to 50-50 Windows-Linux doesn't help enough.
