More Than Half of Known Vista Bugs are Unpatched

MsManhattan writes "Microsoft security executive Jeff Jones has disclosed that in the first six months of Vista's release, the company has patched fewer than half of the operating system's known bugs. Microsoft has fixed only 12 of 27 reported Vista vulnerabilities whereas it patched 36 of 39 known bugs in Windows XP in the first six months following its release. Jones says that's because "Windows Vista continues to show a trend of fewer total and fewer high-severity vulnerabilities at the six month mark compared to ... Windows XP," but he did not address the 15 unpatched flaws."

You are wrong...seeing as My MACS have never been compromised then i guess your wrong. My windows Vista / XP and 98 systems all sooner or later were compromised, but the MAC's NEVER! I own a good size company and thus have lots of desktops. We are migrating as many as possible to the Macs simply because of security and no stupid EULA restrictions like in the new VISTA licenses. You sir should think before you post.
