    It was already a pretty attractive target because of servers for everything. I’m not sure reaching 5% desktop market share will really make it more attractive for malware.

      It would, because desktop users are a lot easier to infect than servers. They might be a lot less valuable than servers, but at the same time, they are much less secure. I’m sure there are plenty of people who would prefer going for the easier targets if there is enough of them to make up for the smaller value.
