I also noticed some posts about the data being tainted to make Nix look bad.
I don't know that Cert was trying to intentionally taint the data to make *nix look bad, but if you are just trying to use numbers to draw the conclusions you are drawing, the data on the site is indeed not valid for that purpose due to the duplications.

The myth is that Nix is not attacked because the installed base is too small to be of interest. That statement is often made on this very board.
I rarely see anyone post a never or a "*nix is not attacked" as an absolute, and I can't recall a single recent instance on this board; it usually is more akin to being attacked far less frequently, as concerning home desktop use.
