RTF report
From the report:

http://www.honeynet.org/papers/bots/

"These days, home PCs are a desirable target for attackers.
Most of these systems run Microsoft Windows and often are
not properly patched or secured behind a firewall, leaving
them vulnerable to attack.
...
An analysis of the traffic captured by the German Honeynet
Project shows that most traffic targets the ports used for
resource sharing on machines running all versions of
Microsoft's Windows operating system
...
Further research with tools such as Nmap, Xprobe2 and p0f
reveal that machines running Windows XP and 2000
represent the most affected software versions."

Just because ZDNet won't publish this detail they did
provide a link to the report for you to read!
