Article on Windows Malware over the past 20 years

This is a very good read. Good summary of strategies and their effects.  It would be interesting to look at the variations in strategy against some metric of spread rates. This is mostly a factor of how fast the module can communicate->Infect->Not Clash->Repeat.

The best point is again the final one... people are now the weakest link in the chain.  How do we mitigate this risk?
