Linux Machines Surprisingly Linked to Spam
Since Windows holds more than 90 percent of the market, the lion's share of spam still comes from Windows machines, said Paul Wood, a MessageLabs intelligence analyst with Symantec.
Symantec found that 92.65 percent of spam came from Windows PCs, with 2.22 percent coming from other operating systems and nearly none from Apple computers.
But 5.14 percent of spam came from Linux machines, which is somewhat odd since Linux comprises about 1.03 percent of the operating system market, according to statistics quoted by Symantec in its latest MessageLabs Intelligence report for April.
