I agree. And that's just taking in "numbers". What about impact. If there's
a security flaw in an android phone, it opens up each individual for an
attack, but it usually requires an attacker to hit them individually.
But if an enterprise is hit. All it takes is to go after one server, and
you have access to thousands of users and their private data.
It's not just the number of installations that count.
