Privacy, Security, Encryption 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.

"Among the techies, it's pretty hard to find a culture of Microsoft groupthink outside of Redmond."

Oh please get real. How many ISV's, consultants etc are there who has Windows as their primary source of income? Not to mention gamers and power users. That's a pretty solid base for groupthink.
