Breaking records is usually a good thing, but not in the case of Windows. New data indicates that it now takes only 4 minutes for a Windows XP SP1 machine to be compromised by a remote exploit (Virus/Trojan/Worm etc). The tests included both Linux and Mac desktop machines, but only the Windows box’s were compromised.
The only questions are: “Is anybody really surprised” and “does anyone still believe Microsoft’s claim that Windows is really more secure?”
