Surprise, surprise. Windows is a sieve and either the holes are getting larger or the malware authors are getting smarter. Regardless of which, Microsoft itself is reporting that it has witnessed an increase of 13% in the number of malware objects which its own anti-malware tool has been removing. El Reg indicates some solidarity with Microsoft by suggesting that by judicious use of firewalls and patching Windows can be as safe as Mac OS X or Linux. My position questions why anyone would want to have to work that hard when an easier, better, safer, and more reliable pair of OSen are available. Me, I’ll stick with Apple which, by the way, is also seeing a steady increase… in sales.
