I’m helping do Web research with Richard on this project, and as I come across interesting tidbits, I’ll post them.
Jeff Jones posts analysis of Vista vulnerabilities found in the first 90 days compared to RHEL, XP, SLED, and OS X. His results: Vista’s pretty secure.
Commenters offer the suggestion that other platforms just find and fix vulnerabilities faster, which is better, but Jeff says that’s not borne out by comparing mature OS’s over their lifetime, and that vulnerabilities found in the first 90 days are indicative of the total number of vulnerabilities which will be found.
