Microsoft Says Vista Has the Fewest Flaws

Posted by samzenpus on from the eye-of-the-beholder dept.

ancientribe writes "Microsoft issued a year-one security report on its Windows Vista operating system today, and it turns out Vista logged less than half the vulnerabilities than Windows XP did in its first year. According to the new Microsoft report, Vista also had fewer vulnerabilities in its first year than other OSes — including Red Hat rhel4ws, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, and Apple Mac OS X 10.4 — did in their first years."

    As long as most of the flaws in VISTA are still being counted as features (DRM anybody?), they can basically claim it's a zero-flaw system.

    Has Vista even been selling for a year? Nobody I know uses that shit.

    ... there's no reason anyone would ever want to use it.

    Everything else is irrelevant.
