Is your car running on Windows?
by Volker Weber
Armonk, N.Y. - Feb. 9, 2005 - Today IBM announced the results from its 2004 Global Business Security Index Report and provided an early look at potential security threats in 2005. Based on early indicators, a new and troubling trend this year may be the aggressive spread of viruses and worms to handheld devices, cell phones, wireless networks, and embedded computers, which include car and satellite communication systems.

Tja, die meisten Leute wissen es nicht, aber gerade die Highend-Systeme in den Autos laufen tatsächlich auf Windows, so zum Beispiel im 7er BMW.
Bei den unteren Modellreihen wird dagegen entweder Low-End-Technologie eingebaut oder eben generell weniger elektronifiziert.
IBM macht ja aber in dem Artikel keiner bestimmten Betriebssystem-Plattform irgendwelche positiven Zugeständnisse gegenüber anderen.
Viele Grüsse

Stimmt. Hat IBM nicht gesagt und war als Überschrift auch nicht ganz fair, insbesondere da Symbian auch mit Würmern in den Schlagzeilen ist.
Auf der anderen Seite sind sämtliche Viren und Würmer, die hier täglich vergeblich aufschlagen, Windows-basiert. Da ist Microsoft ganz klarer Marktführer. :-)
yeah, but Gates says that it is because
"Of course we are the largest target, simply because we have the most widely disseminated system. But it affects others in exactly the same way. Linux is, in many respects, even more significantly affected."

That is a "canned" answer, which is at least questionable. It also fails to answer the question:
But your small competitor Apple, for example, is much less frequently a victim of virus attacks ...
I wasn't defending Gates -- I've heard the same line in the Notes vs. Outlook discussion too. It's b.s. here, too. :) (and sorry to take the discussion to English)
