What percentage of Window machines did Conficker infect? 30% 50%? I seem to remember it was a huge percentage.
"It's estimated that at its peak Conficker infected more than 11 million PCs globally."

Numbers in the range 15-25 million were also tossed around. It's hard to estimate.
Steve Ballmer expected the Windows installed base to cross the 1 billion mark in mid-2008: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/microsoft-expect-windows...
Conficker peaked around January 2009 I believe. At 10 million that would be 1% of 1 billion.
