Last week’s fixes from Microsoft has prompted a lot of critisism. There is also a report to be released by Foundstone that compares the vulnerability of Windows to Linux:
While Microsoft last week had a lot of explaining to do, anyone who thinks its operating systems are worse in terms of vulnerabilities than say, Linux, is going to be surprised by a report that security expert Stuart McClure, president and CTO at security products vendor Foundstone, will publish next month.
In his apples-to-apples study comparing the history of flaws discovered in several versions of Linux to Microsoft software, McClure says, “Linux is worse” with about 10% more flaws uncovered.
