    Microsoft's DOWN TO 5 UNPATCHED SEC. VULNS IN THE ENTIRE MS PRODUCT LINE YOU USE TO DO BUSINESS ONLINE: (& 4x less unpatched security vulnerabilities than Linux has, no less, in its "latest/greatest", albeit KERNEL ONLY (makes a difference, read on)):

    AND, of those 5 vulnerabilities, yes... 2 are still "remote". HOWEVER, they have EASY work-arounds, OR, are caused/utilized by faulty 3rd party apps you can just avoid, as there's usually an alternate app for most anything!

    (E.G.., & of ALL things? Apple stuff triggers one, ITunes another, iirc, etc. but no other apps are KNOWN to - go figure, eh?).

    The remaining can be avoided by not just downloading & running "anything" etc. (being utterly stupid in other words, or just ignorant (which in the case of a child, I could excuse (not an adult)).

    THAT? That's more than 4x as many as Windows 7 has that are unpatched, & has a REMOTE BUG UNPATCHED in the "ROSE" subsystem... PLUS, I'd wager there aren't EASY workarounds for them (or as many as MS has shown above)...

    THAT? That's more than 4x as many as Windows 7 has that are unpatched, & has a REMOTE BUG UNPATCHED in the "ROSE" subsystem... PLUS, I'd wager there aren't EASY workarounds for them (or as many as MS has shown above)...

    So, so much for "Windows is less secure than Linux" stuff you see around here on /., eh?

    That's 3x++ as many KNOWN vulnerabilities unpatched in Linux (keep in mind, that's the KERNEL ONLY, mind you (not the rest of what a full Linux distro entails, which only compounds that number further) than there is in Windows 7 (which IS a "full distro" in essence, with GUI shell, Window mgt. subsystems, an internet browser & FAR more)...

    (And the "Std. 'Pro-*NIX' mantra" around here on /. for a decade++ or more has been "Linux is more secure than Windows is"... well, take a read up there, & "READ 'EM & WEEP"...)

    APK

    P.S.=> Bear in mind also, that Microsoft is about to close @ least 3 of those 6 remaining unpatched security vulnerabilities issues in Windows 7 too (IF not more, because 64 fixes are issuing in total summation across their product lines), on next Tuesday 04/12/2011, per this bulletin as "proof thereof" -> http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms11-apr.mspx , which will mean that Linux will be even farther "ahead" (behind is more like it actually) in terms of unpatched security issues... apk

    As far back as 2006, the "MS Stack" for web based business OUTPERFORMED Linux LAMP setups (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) by FAR... especially in Average Throughput per second, & Average Hits per second tests & not too badly (not last, like some Linux ones did) in Average Transactions per second too!

    "all unpatched the Linux vulnerabilities you show are marked non-critical by the adversaries where as some of those from windows are marked critical." - by IRWolfie- (1148617) on Tuesday March 29, @03:01PM (#35656572)

    Ahem:

    ---

    1.) You seem to rather "conveniently" omit the fact that is ONLY the Linux kernel - NOT the entirety of a Linux distro (which adds more bugs)

    2.) Less is more - and last time I checked? 6 bugs in an OS in its ENTIRETY (Windows 7) is less than 19 in a KERNEL (linux) ONLY!

    3.) Toss on ANDROID problems (truckloads of them, in the news nearly every day lately in fact) COMPOUND THAT EVEN MORE... & yes, Android IS a Linux variant!

    ---

    I noted both facts in my 1st post here in fact... care to debate that as well? Stop skimming please!

    The funniest part is, Windows has work-arounds for the critical ones (remote are the MOST dangerous) & yes, LINUX HAS A REMOTE ONE UNPATCHED!!!
