“has been shown to reduce malware by 60 percent.” is hilariously vague. The statement means absolutely nothing! 60 percent compared to what? Is the metric that's decreased the number of infections or the number of infections by unique malware? Was this 60% observed in a lab, and these measures defeat 60% of some test set of malware? Is there any reason to believe that malware won't adapt once these features are released? It is infuriating to see these kinds of vague numbers thrown about.
