NewsWeek interviewed Bill Gates about Vista, its reception, and Apple, among other things. On the complaint that some of the features in Vista appear to come from the Mac: "You can go through and look at who showed any of these things first, if you care about the facts. If you just want to say, "Steve Jobs invented the world, and then the rest of us came along," that's fine. If you're interested, [Vista development chief] Jim Allchin will be glad to educate you feature by feature what the truth is. I mean, it's fascinating, maybe we shouldn't have showed so publicly the stuff we were doing, because we knew how long the new security base was going to take us to get done. Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine."

It has to do with the fact that there are 19 million Macs running Mac OS X vs. 15 million Macs reachable over the internet, as you mentioned. Sorry that you didn't see that over all the other business in my post.
What you said was somewhat vague. Saying "Macs" could mean machines from 1984 and, even removing those reaching the internet only takes us to 1987 or so. However, those affected by the Month of Apple Bugs is a much more defined group because they're running Mac OS X.

All completely right, but I don't see how any of it fits in with what I posted.
