I want to make a joke about how the popular social network sites are being targeted and how Microsoft is targeted by virus makers because it is also popular. The joke would have something to do with how insert-unpopular-open-source/old-chat here (Linux users) are laughing at Facebook/Myspace (Microsoft) because they got hacked. I just haven't been on the internet long enough to come up with a comparison for the joke, if I were to guess; BBS?

it was coming, but 1.5 mill out of billions....

To be honest, I would be surprised if there were more than a billion users. Unless, of course, there were duplicate accounts. I'm strictly talking users.
