I see great benefits so far here in Malaysia. Perfect time to be the
miracle worker. 

- faster internet speed: 

  All those Windows users now offline. They can't even go online
  to get windows updated because they get hit immediately.

- advocacy of freebsd/linux/open source solutions

  People are just desperate to get some work done..
  Not affected? Can open Word documents? I can continue working?
  Less than the cost of AV licenses? No licenses needed to set up
  a firewall?
