Last week, security vendor Sophos published a blog post in which it said that Windows 7 was vulnerable to 8 our of 10 of the most common viruses. Microsoft has responded to these test results, which are a classic case of "scare 'm and they'll fall in line".

Current versions of the big name OS fully patched.
Granted, to remove the chance of target bias, it'd be interesting to have the competitors hit each of the machines with the lovelies they braught. It would show what vulnerability was present in all platforms or what mitigated it.
