Did anyone actually read this thing?
The report, as posted, does not say Windows OS's are inherently more vulnerable than any other.

It only says that the majority of infected PC's are running Windows OS's, and that all the bots are specifically written to target Windows OS's known IP vulnerabilities BECAUSE Windows OS's are the most popular on the internet.

If you somehow manage to turn those 2 statements into "Linux is inherently less vulnerable than Windows" then you are biased.

I am not saying Window's isn't more vulnerable. I am merely saying that the people who wrote this report never said Windows was more vulnerable, and nothing they said inherently indicates Windows is more vulnerable.
