I agree with your comments that a true IT professional has to have a wide base of knowledge on multiple platforms. However the idea that linux would be on every comuter is flawed.
User land is different world from that of the administrator. Windows is easier to use (at the moment)and for users that is all they should have to worry about, ease of use.
Windows is insecure for two reasons
1)its easy to use. Insecurity by avaliblity
2)its open by default. unix os are closed by default. (therefore unix os' are easier to turn into trusted os')
