Out of Date and Unpatched Computers

Picture from here

One of the most interesting things I’ve learned over watching web statistics of my visitors is how many unpatched computers there are out there.    I see a ton of firefox 1.x browsers, Internet Explorer 4, 5, and.   Windows 98, Windows 95, and even Windows ME.   Now some of those I can understand, but Windows Millenium?   Seriously?   I ran windows ME for a whole 48 hours before converting back to WIndows 98SE.

I can only imagine how many of those are completely spyware infested.   Part of the reason I do my best to keep my blog patched, occasionally a virus comes along that will infect web pages.  I will always do my best to keep that from happening by visiting any of my sites.  Graned some of the sites I crosspost to I can’t control the patching on, I can only hope their administrators are on the ball with all those obsolete and vulnerable OS’s around.
