Unpatched systems... not safe

We mentioned here that survival time for an unpatched Windows machine to be about 20 minutes.

This new Slashdot post seems to indicate that there is evidence to show that has dropped again.
It also notes that Linux and Mac systems were part of it as well, yet remained safe (also notes that sure gets helped by the fact that there just isn't a lot written for them).

So remember to keep your system patched and updated.
