   Computers running either Windows 7 or Windows Vista operating systems are
   more likely to be infected by malware than Windows XP machines, according
   to a recent report by Microsoft.

   The company’s biannual Security Intelligence Report (SIR) included
   figures showing that in the last quarter of 2013, Windows XP computers
   had an infection rate of 2.42 per cent, compared to 3.24 per cent for
   Windows Vista and 2.59 per cent for Windows 7.

There's more to the story, of course.
