This is going to help with security how?

Yeah, yeah...monoculture and all that jazz. I work for a fortune 500 company (> $100B in market cap). Over 75K employees. When virus outbreaks occured only a small number of systems were actually infected. Only a handful of infected systems (less than a dozen) were able to generate sufficient network traffic as to make the network all but unusable (wrt to Code Red or Blaster or some such malware...it's been a while).

While I understand the argument for diverification my experience working in a large company shows that a minority of infected systems cause the problems. Not every system has to become infected. Not half of the systems. Not even 1/10th of the systems.
