Security Samizdat

Some comments about Microsoft’s security performance:

InternetNews quotes Symantec’s Internet Security Threat Report: “Microsoft Windows had the fewest number of patches and the shortest average patch development time of the five operating systems it monitored in the last six months of 2006.”

Jeff Jones releases his 90 Days Vulnerability Report on workstation OS, which includes Vista, XP, MacOS and several popular flavours of Linux.

And Kai from Microsoft, comments (rants) about the fact that Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop 5 has been released together with a stack of vulnerabilities at launch date, and how there seems to be a lack of media outcry about this.
