this is actually a pretty cogent argument. how do you apply this logic to other systems and software?
for example, we know that running an old version of OSX is not too bad. But if you're still running 10.4 instead of 10.4.3, you're in for some trouble.
when there is a security patch to a specifc X.Y release OSX or Windows, (like X.Y.Z) it's not secure to leave that running. the same would apply to any other piece of software (like WordPress), no?
Great post! "Up to date software is secure. Out of date software is a target." - this is true of Operating Systems too (like Windows and Apple). If you're running an old version of Windows....good luck.
