The fact that he has XP so low might also raise a few flags...
Well, that and the low adoption rate of Vista.
Let the flames begin.
Isn't it also funny that they profile the distributions that won't sign the "protection agreement"...
I'm not sure this proves anything except how quickly OSes are adopted in the first six months. Windows OSes have the lowest number of exploits because fewer people are finding exploits due to low adoption rates. Next highest is Apple. And most apple users wait until a new machine to get the latest OS. Then Ubuntu, which is free to all. Then SLED and Red Hat which are used for servers, meaning both buying the upgrade AND finding exploits are high priorities. I'd like to see this data over a two year period, which the statistics on exploits broken down into three month increments.
That's the great thing about statistics...you can make them say whatever you want...
