"The group discounted the recent wave of worms, viruses and other attacks that have affected Windows systems worldwide. It confined the study to overt digital attacks by hackers."
Hmm, so they don't worry about the big stuff.... Since I don't run windows, neither do I :) Statistics can be made to say anything, 48% of people know that.

I tried to read the exact paper they were quoting for this article but to read it you need to pay approx $100 !
This looks a bit like a Netcraft "make up a survey that we can make Linux look bad" style of thing. But this one looks like it has an interesting twist by putting a $100 "door fee" you can keep out the "riff-raff" so that it can't be properly discredited.
Found this article, the results are interesting...?
This could be a bad thing for Linux in general though couldn't it?
What will be more likely is that mi2g will be discredited.
