Is it safe to say, that the majority of the serves, computers are running windozed XP? Windozed 2000 Server etc..though there are open source OS affected too....MOSTLY THOSE RUNNING MICROSHIT! products....& many, never update their softwares....even though you do....the chances of getting infected is extremely high....I can vouch for that.

I have followed that "get a MAC don't look back"...not that macOS is so secure...but at least much more secured that MICROSHIT...I have not touch or used a MS Windozed machine running their OS for more than 10 years...
