Story: Linux and Unix 'had more vulnerabilities than Windows'

What the article fails to mention that anytime new applications come out that there will be chances for vulnerabilities to be found cause the likely hood of those vulnerabilities to be tested will be zero.
it sounds to me as if windows is getting better. It certainly cost more to protect Windows OS than it does for any given Unix OS. I will still won't buy windows just because of that factor and that windows are the most heaviest of all the OS's that are TARGET'd for those vulnerabilities.
But companies still should test for those regardless. There should be standard tool kits to test those type of vulnerabilities.
