Microsoft did it again! Windows Vista is the safest operating system available on the market today, elevated from the position of the securest Windows platform, and three different distributions of Linux along with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger are left to bite the dust. The data illustrated in the graphics included at the bottom of this article was put together by Jeff Jones, Strategy Director in the Microsoft Security Technology Unit. This is not the
first time that Jones has played the vulnerability counting game, but as far as the general conclusions go, absolutely nothing changed.
