Microsoft's security policies are getting better every day, even as a new report slams open-source competitors as security nightmares. But the easy answers aren't always the right ones.

And exactly how many of these vulnerabilities were actually in the linux kernel? According to Microsoft IE is part of the windows OS, that means that IE vulns are Windows vulns. Holes in Apache or OpenSSL are not linux specific any more than they are Windows specific.

Legislation is required so that reports such as this carry bullshit warnings.
