"Starting today, I plan on posting a monthly vulnerability scorecard for common server and workstation Operating System products. I'm going to keep these scorecards pretty clean of discussion, but you can review my methodology, sources and assumptions." Note that these results speak only of fixed vulnerabilities; the author aims to include information on non-fixed problems and the time it takes to fix problems as well. You should also read this, by the way.

But some of you should RTFA. Those charts show how many vulnerabilities were fixed. The fact that Vista hasn't received any fixes (a fact that I sincerely doubt, no matter how good it is, it can't be perfect) doesn't mean it doesn't have any vulnerabilities.
It's obvious that FOSS software will have more fixes, after all, that code is reviewed by thousands of coders around the world and, hoppefully, those vulns will be fixed before anyone exploits them.
Edit: A typo.
