Windows Vista: 6 Month Vulnerability Report

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 25th Jun 2007 20:40 UTC, submitted by anonymous

"I was somewhat surprised (but pleased) at the level of interest back when I published my Windows Vista - 90 Day Vulnerability Report. It was about the earliest span of time I thought might give us some indicators, and the indicators did look good. Six months is a much more interesting time frame, and gives us the opportunity to see if the early trend indicators are holding up, or if the early signs of progress were a short-term gain."

As I said, I read the PDF, the info I mention is not there.

I'm not saying I suspect the report is intentionally misleading or in bad faith, I don't believe that. I'd just like to take a look at what the patched and unpatched issues for each product are and see if the overall report is an accurate reflection of the actual security profile in each case.

I wasn't calling you out specifically hence why I said "for those who haven't read it yet." I know a lot of readers around here A) have a tendency not to open up PDF's and B) have a tendency to comment on articles without first reading them in their entirety.
