What no references again? If you want some credibility, you need to have
some reliable references. Here let me help you.

Users distributed by the operating system that has been exposed to
malicious code.

58% Windows Vista/7
41% Windows XP
3% Windows 2003
2% Windows 2000
0% Windows 98

Unless I am missing something here, this study seems to suggest that
Windows 98 and 2000 are the safest Windows versions so far. Probably
because modern malware can't even run on them would be my guess. ;-)
