I'm curious what the author's point was. It's not a big number. It doesn't indicate a problem of great magnitude. But the author seems to think it's a big problem. What's the problem?

Both of the articles I found were mis-understanding the Microsoft Report... and the authors assumed the 5.7 million computers were a statistical sample of the total population and based their stories on that mistake.

One even had the headline "Microsoft's Malware Report: 60 Percent of PCs Infected" which I posted in FR! Even more embarassing is that headline comes from the supposedly pro-PC TechNewsWorld.com. They were ready to believe it.

Sometimes perception is more telling than fact.
