It's the time of year again, folks. "The year 2007 has been an interesting year that brought us improved security with Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard (10.5). But to get some perspective of how many publicly known holes found in these two operating systems, I've compiled all the security flaws in Mac OS X and Windows XP and Vista and placed them side by side. This is significant because it shows a trend that can give us a good estimate for how many flaws we can expect to find in the coming months." Do with it as you please.

Please. Nobody has put in better processes to ensure secure software - see Microsoft Security Development LifeCycle.
Microsoft learnt their lesson years ago and as the processes they have put in place have taken root so the security of their software has improved. Apple ignored the lessons of Microsoft until recently and is starting to pay for it despite their small market share. Apple only recently (1 year ago) advertised for a security expert i.e. someone to head up their security efforts. Hopefully Apple can get their quality up before their users start suffering because of their short sightedness.
