From Slashdot:

Wired has an article stating that according to a four-year analysis of the 5.7 million lines of Linux source code conducted by five Stanford University computer science researchers, the Linux kernel programming code is better and more secure than the programming code of most proprietary software.

    The problem with that study is that they were not able to look at Windows code (for obvious reasons...). They make quite the assumption that Windows is worse.

    The problem that I have with this study is that they compared the number of bugs in the Linix kernel to the number of bugs in the entire Windows Operating System.

    A more accurate comparison would be a single Linux distro (Red Hat, SuSE) against Windows. Let's compare Apples to Apples, shall we?

    The debian distro currently has over 16,000 software packages.

    Even if you had one critical bug per day (for the whole distro)
    that would give each package an average of
    one critical bug per every 43 years.

    What would this average be for Microsoft?
