This article is really biased a careful read through it and one will definitely notice that he has a definite bias towards microsoft products. I think one should remind him that on top of the usual security fixes one should count the regular viruses all microsoft users have to guard against. Plus the fact that at least to do he exploits in linux one has to be good and know exactly what you're doing unlike windows where any knowledge free person can use the discovered exploits.

What really sucked was that this article is a total piece of crap. Based on the number of vulnerability's mr. Moody qualified a total OS. Also he adds the vulnerabilities of every linux distro but that is nonsence, cause there's a big chance a vulnerablility found in eg RedHat also affects SuSE.
