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.

That link is on the page, that's probably what the page is built for. Also, the unknown category in their list indicates that they didn't call these companies (they just asked each server what it is).
Guess their software isn't very popular 
. Or it's not very good!

So?
Because they sell something for IIS, the list is invalid?
They provided the list, they provided the links.
LOL
Or.. could it be that Fortune 1000 don't care if Windows is more expansive than Linux. Maybe they care about quality and not the price 
Oh, no! The list is biased! LOL Fortune1000 are paid by MS to use Windows/IIS LOL Yeah, right!
I am leaving now, you just confirmed what I said: any study where Windows beats compatition is not good for you guys.
Bye.

The fact that they sell IIS products does make them biased. See, US-CERT would be unbiased because they don't sell anything.
Hahahaha.
There is a list with every company in that study (Fortune 1000).
There is a LINK for each company, so click it and see the info yourself.
If they are biased, the list and links are not. How can a list with links be biased?
What are you talking about?
You just can't accept it guys, that's it. As I said earlier: if Windows beats Linux & friends, you can't accept it. That is your problem.
