an intesting read. Maybe of interest.

Volume 6 of the SIR focuses on the second half of 2008 (from July - December) and builds upon the data published in the previously released volumes of the SIR. Using data derived from hundreds of millions of computers worldwide, and some of the busiest online services on the Internet, this report provides an in-depth perspective on trends in software vulnerability disclosures as well as trends in the malicious and potentially unwanted software landscape, and an update on trends in software vulnerability exploits.

Some interesting stuff in there, So. I couldn't help wonder whether the lower percentage of browser exploits on Vista-based machines was down to the fact that Vista owners tend not to use alternative browsers...  :thumb: :karma:
