On a publishing list I'm on, the issue of cookies, spyware, etc etc came
up.  & yes, Linux etc were mentioned as ways to avoid spyware... along
with this amusing comment:

"Not everyone was cut out to use vi or Emacs for simple text editing,
let alone using TeX for layout. To most people, recompiling a kernel
has
something to do with popcorn. Besides, most of the guys I knew that
were TeX fanatics were anti-social math/programming geniuses capable of
hunting down and killing their dinner each night with a slide rule."

I now return you the sound of chirping crickets.
