If the same multi-year, detailed evaluation were performed for Windows, Linux, AIX, HP-UX, or other operating system, it would be significantly thicker than 29 pages. Windows, for example, would consume a couple of hundred pages just for rootkits -- Mac OS X only has 2 pages (3 rootkits).
The other interesting thing is that few of these issues have no patches. Windows certainly cannot say that. In this regard, Linux is much better than Windows, but still not as good as OS X. (The OSS community is very good about patching Linux, but there are still plenty of local-exploit risks available.)
