Microsoft Says Vista Has the Fewest Flaws

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."

    Oh... yes, yes you DID.. and you got modded insightful?

    Modders, you do realize that this is the inverse of the same argument that is championed out in defense of Windows' traditional insecurity, no? The whole, it's the most popular OS and therefore the biggest target thing. Usually if you play that card, you get 37 rebuttal's and a -1 overrated.
