I didn't see anywhere that they ranked the Operating Systems in order of Most to Least secure. Also, the report makes no claim that Windows is the most secure. The Article by Internetnews says that, not Symantec. I mean, if I'm wrong, please point out where it says this in the actual report.
If I make a report that says 5000 people die in swimming pools every year, and 100 people die from base jumping, that doesn't mean I am saying that swimming is more dangerous than base jumping. If internetnews comes along and says that, well, that's their misguided interpretation.
The report gives the facts. The article takes the facts and manipulates them to say something that isn't implied. Only an idiot would make those conclusions.
