I agree. I think the author is making a rather wide generalisation . . . popularity must therefore equal more attacks, which is true to an extent.

However, also bear in mind that attacks on windows systems don't necessarily only arise because the hacker can (i.e. it's easier to hack into) but also becuase many are idealogically opposed to microsoft! Or to put it another way, mircrosoft Sucks!

I doubt that the same hackers will be opposed to mozzila and firefox in the same way that they're opposed to microsoft. That alone will account for less attacks I think!
