Switching platforms, switching OS's, only works as long as the user base is not large enough to become attractive to the baddies.

Once a certain threshold in terms of number of users is passed, expect the baddies to notice that and start working towards compromising that particular system as well.

If banks were to issue linux CDs, etc. -- linux would simply become another target for the baddies.

The cost of freedom is indeed eternal vigilance.
