2. Multiple vendors competing in the Unix market push each other.

Also, Unix systems tend to vary more: they run different versions of Unix and have different processor architectures. This variation is a royal pain, but it does slow down worms.

Pretty much any system is vulnerable, given enough time and motivation.

Cheers,
Eric
