Good news for users of Windows Vista. According to figures compiled by PC Tools, the OS has experienced only slightly more vulnerabilities than Windows 2000, which appeared eight years ago when malware was far less common.
Or is that the bad news? Despite having a reputation as the least vulnerable of Microsoft’s operating systems, Vista still managed to record 639 unique vulnerabilities over roughly the last half year, which puts it in a worse position than the ageing Windows 2000, which experienced 586 over the same period.
