Except those other vendors don't own the OS and the majority of other
software used by everyone  in the world!

Interesting that Microsoft has exact numbers.  Yet another Microsoft product

Software removal tool

 

Microsoft has released an interesting report on some results from their
Malicious Software Removal tool.  There are some pretty shocking results of
the amount of virii this thing has cleaned.  For example 4.4 million
removals of Win32/Rbot, another interesting statistic..the tool cleaned one
computer that had over 251 variants of malware. I can only imagine what that
person was doing on the web. : )
