       Oh boy you left out a bunch of factors. In fact you left out the main   
   factor. The human factor. I say you should talk to hackers and you can get a   
   lot more information than you can crunching numbers. People who make viruses   
   and other malware want to spread it. People who want to use DDOS attacks   
   want to use as many computers as possible. It's common sense that they would   
   not want to even attack a Mac, Unix or Linux box.
