Vista 6 month vulnerability report - better than XP?

Good report at Jeff Jones blog http://blogs.csoonline.com/windows_vista_6_month_vulnerability_report

For those that only want the executive summary, here is a key chart that shows the publicly disclosed High severity vulnerabilities during the first 90 days of availability, broken down by vulns fixed and vulns unfixed. Note that this chart is showing the reduced Linux builds that exclude non-default and optional components without equivalents on WIndows. (clicking the chart also gets you to the full report.)

  id  be interested to see how many of the patches for winxp were actually for ie. winxp had ie embedded and most security flaws i would guess are actually ie exploits. if vista had come out back when ie was int he same stage of development (ie less mature than now) it would have had the same problems. face it, embedding a non standards compliant buggy and exploitable browser in an os is just asking for exploits to be written for it. comparing vista to xp is like comparing my new car with the previous model. of course they worked out most of the bugs this time round - thats why its is a new model. the only fair comparison would be to add all the exploits from windows 95 on and include windows 2000 as well as vista is simply the sum of all those os plus a few million extra lines of code. linux is inherently more secure for a completely different reason - the fact that its open source and has a large developer community around its transparent kernel code. as long as windows bloated code remains locked away the exploits will continue. no one at msft can possibly understand it all. all that said i mostly agree with alan in that the modern os manufacturer is exploit aware and readily provide patches. however "safe" is a fairly loose concept - maybe a vista user is just just less likely to get shot down in flames than a win 98 pc (still a lot of them out there!)
