I just read the article and it doesn't really *say* anything. At least that I could pick up. Yes, we all know Windows is open to all those bugs and such but I think I'd consider the source....it's on MSNBC! Do we all know what the MS stands for? MicroSoft! They're just throwing chimpanzee poop. I'll believe it when it see it.

The group's "SANS Top20" report identifies the 20 most
targeted software flaws that criminals use to infiltrate computers.

Top Windows vulnerabilities include Microsoft Corp.'s
Internet Explorer Web browser and Windows Office and
Outlook Express. The report also listed Apple Computer
Inc.'s Macintosh operating system as a top
vulnerability among Unix operating systems.

Apple's OS X operating system is based on Unix, a
heavy-duty operating system used principally in
corporate data centers and high-powered computers.

Network devices such as routers and switches that
direct Internet traffic also are being targeted, SANS
said. Cisco Systems Inc. made the list with its "IOS"
router product line.
