while the study has a dubiously small sample, it nevertheless states that an unpatched windows computer connected to the internet (outside of a firewall) will be compromised in an average of 20 minutes. that is a stunning thing to think about: "The drop from 40 minutes to 20 minutes is worrisome because it means the average 'survival time' is not long enough for a user to download the very patches that would protect a PC from Internet threats." oh, also note that cnet apparently still capitalizes "internet."
