Microsoft Malware Protection Center : Microsoft Security Essentials
Microsoft Malware Protection Center : Microsoft Security Essentials –
Week One:

The Windows 7 numbers are spectacular for an operating system that
hasn’t yet released for global availability. Even better, about 1/3rd
of Windows 7 Microsoft Security Essentials machines are 64-bit, which is
even more resistant to malware than 32-bit due to PatchGuard.
By looking at detections divided by active Microsoft Security Essentials
machines over the whole population, we see far more detections per XP
machine, with the fewest from Win7. This follows our usual observed
trend of seeing less malware on newer OSes and service packs.
