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.

That sounds interesting. In what universe, does number of security updates equate to security?
It's rare that I crack up laughing when reading comments but that sure made my day ^^ Damn, I guess I gotta start keeping all my valuables in a cardboard box since it's so much more secure than any bank or vault available :3
So, for example: Fort Knox installs/updates its security measures once a month (lets say). My garden shed has never changed its security. Ergo (using your reasoning) my garden shed is more secure than Fort Knox.
That's simply the best analogy I've ever read regarding this issue!
