Did you really believe Vista was more secure than Linux, Mac?

I read that headlines the other day that “Vista is more secure than Linux, Mac”, chuckled and moved on. Did people really believe that propaganda? Well, if you did, there’s a full debunkment now over at seclists.org. It seems a certain group in Redmond still have not figured out how to count… or just happen to miss again the fundamental differences between open and closed vulnerability reporting.

BTW, I noticed that my Google Adwords has recently been bloated with “Windows vs Linux” Google ads. They’re from Microsoft - please do click on them proactively - click on them 10 times if you like. I could exclude microsoft.com but when I thought about it - why? Click away, ring up the bill. I’d love to see the invoice report at Microsoft showing detailed billing for the MichaelDolan.com Google Adwords clicks. I also found it funny that apparently someone at Microsoft uses Google to at least buy the Adwords :-).
