Always one in the crowd
that does not understand that the number of flaws and vulnerabilities is tied to the OS, not to the number of users.

To make it simple for you, if an OS has 10,000 vulnerabilities it has that many in EACH COPY, not the total number of users divided by the number of vulnarabilities per copy. In other words, it is not 1 vulnerability per copy for each of 10,000 users. IT IS STILL 10,000 VULNERABILITIES PER COPY.

MS is cracked so often and so easily because each copy has the same massive number of flaws.

Obviously, you don't realize that but you may be assured that the malware writers do and your ignorance will not protect you.
