Paul Kedrosky had a link to the comments to a post comparing Windows XP and Vista security. As mentioned in the Infectious Greed article, the article actually created intense back-and-forth banter within the comments of the article. The final comment that I’ve seen was made by Roger A. Grimes, who not only made some interesting points that go against the original article, he also points out an interesting stat:

If you look at the number of found vulnerabilities in Windows XP (28) vs. Vista (11) this year, Vista wins again. If that seems like a lot, don’t forget Mac OS X has had 101 in the same time period. Cute commercials, but not necessarily a stellar reason to dog Microsoft about.

I cannot verify the accuracy of the statement, but I’m quite sure the idea, that Vista has had fewer vulnerabilities than OS X since the begining of the year, is probably true. For more fun, check out the Feline Infectcious Greed.
