so, linux takes twice the time, at best, on average, to fix a vulnerability. never heard of people saying whether windows vulnerabilities are "Serious" or not. i'd assume if sth is a vulnerability, it would be serious. bravo on this report, though i think it still sympathises with linux too much. with good security management, i can hardly see why microsoft should be any less secure than linux, besides the fact that it is more often a target, and has a much less knowledgaeble installed base, on average (with all due respect to techies who use windows, of course).
