Jeff Jones has published another one of his vulnerability scorecards comparing various operating system offerings. As always, these figures just list the patched vulnerabilities over the designated period of time; they do not take into account any unfixed or undisclosed vulnerabilities. Hence, these reports are not proper measurements of security - they are just that, a tally of fixed vulnerabilities. Any conclusions like "x is more secure than y" cannot be drawn from this data set. As always, do with it as you please.

You're joking, right?
You listed a couple of underfunded volunteer organizations and a collaborative patent pool (???) as evidence of "a PR machine... spending millions to change national policy"?
Please read my post again.
