Open source experts have hit back at a study published by the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team that said more vulnerabilities were found in Linux/Unix than in Windows in 2005, labelling the report misleading and confusing. The report has attracted criticism from the open source community. Linux vendor Red Hat said the vulnerabilities had been miscategorised, and so could not be used to compare the relative security of Windows and Linux/Unix platforms.

wasn't this week a joke with the whole Windows world blowing up over this stupid WMF thing?
What about it? The Linux world also has had its share of embarassing vulnerabilities (remember the gzip hole?).
Paradoxically, the OSS world often seems to react to such problems in a much more professional manner though.
