  1. You decide on Surprise, Windows Listed as Most Secure OS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I searched the CVE and found the following results within the same time period that Symantec did there report:

    HP-UX 14 vulnerabilities

    OS X 5 vulnerabilities

    Microsoft Windows 59 vlnerabilities

    Solaris 8 vulnerabilities

    A search of US-CERT produces the following results:

    HP-UX 14 vulnerabilities

    OS X 1454 vulnerabilities

    Microsoft Windows 459 vulnerabilities

    Solaris 28 vulnerabilities

    These were the exact terms I searched

    Now think why a security company would overinflate that amount of ulnerabilities that have been found in various operating systems, perhaps because they sell security products and it is in the interest of their business model?
