PCMag has an interesting interview with Mike Nash, "corporate vice president of the Security Business & Technology Unit (SBTU) at Microsoft Corp", questioning him on the recent M$ security debacle, and it's upcoming SP2 release for Windows XP.

MJM: Even if Windows does have fewer vulnerabilities than other operating systems, there's a perception from people I've talked to?and I've talked to a lot of people?that there are more viruses and more spyware aimed at Windows than at Mac OS or Linux. Would you agree?

MN: There are a lot of viruses aimed at Linux and other platforms as well. But with Windows, the number is larger.
