I’m not missing any critical point. I simply pointed out that the statement that other OSes don’t suffer from “this problem” is silly. I’ve said repeatedly during the course of this thread that Windows had more malware aimed at it and was more vulnerable. But there’s a difference between most targeted and ONLY, that is the critical point, that some people like to pretend Windows is the only OS to have ever been infected, and that’s simply not the case. That the only way it “seems like” other OSes don’t have this problem is if you go out of your way to not notice that there is malware targeting every OS.
The point of the article is to sell software. It was written by one of the biggest AV companies out there. I’m surprised they even admitted to trying viruses that got blocked by 7.
We agree on that, for sure.

Their engineers probably felt they had to put something in to make themselves look fair. I'm sure their marketing people argued against it ;-)
Saying that having an OS with few minor attack points is the same as an OS having thousands of attacks point is what is silly.
