I must admit to some confusion here - I wasn't aware MS ran a site where you could find every bug in every windows-based application...

oh, she just meant ones from MS? well, that's more reasonable, but tbh the only reason it is useul is because most of the security vulnerabilities on Windows *are* clustered around MS supplied services, rather than third party packages.... :)

In any case, where you are more likely to see vulnerability reports is bugtraq, not MS *or* a linux specific site.
