"It's not FUD, it's fact: Linux is every bit as susceptible to malicious code 
as Windows. Experts say the only difference between the two as attack vectors 
is the greater prevalence of Windows in enterprise data centers and on 
desktops. F-Secure Corp., a Finnish antivirus vendor, believes the problems 
for Linux may slowly escalate, as more CIOs and IT managers introduce Linux 
into their environments. In this interview, Jyrki Tulokas, business manager 
at F-Secure, explains the breadth of the current threat to Linux systems from 
malicious code and predicts how the landscape may change."
