As anyone who is seriously into Computer Security or Hacking knows, it really doesn't matter what OS your running, they are all vulnerable to attacks.

Though staying patched & updated are critical regardless of OS, funny (scary) tidbit from the pdf was a few people browsing net with Windows 98, and at least one on Windows 95!
