主要记录微软安全的blogger Jeff Jones发布了一篇新的漏洞统计报告,报告显示Windows Vista从发布到现在差不多9个月时间,但系统的安全性仍然是所有的桌面操作系统中最好的,它的漏洞总和仅20个,而相比之下Redhat,Novell,Ubuntu和Mac OS X的漏洞情况都比Vista严重得多.

    特别值得关注的是Redhat EL Desktop 5的表现十分反常,从3月发布到现在已经爆出了惊人的漏洞数量.

    以下是详细的统计图表,仅从漏洞数量上来看,Windows系统的安全性都是无可争议的首位.

In this section and the next one, note that each of the Linux distributions analyzed do not include the full set of product components, as I went through a process to filter out optional and non-comparable components.  For more details on assumption and methods, please read review my methodology, sources and assumptions on this page.
