Hey, Bill.

] 	wht is the mean-time-to-infection for a stock windows XP system

The same case can be made for Linux and Unix-based web servers with
vulnerable PHP-based tools.  There's also a large number of poorly
configured devices such as routers with easily guessed passwords,
overly permissive DNS name servers, etc.

It's not simply a Windows problem.

Thanks,
Rob.
