| The majority of the vulnerabilities were attributed to Microsoft

Finally... a study that sets apart applications from the operating system
(unlike a misleading study last year--that which included packages like
Apache and had vulnerabilities replicated and aggregated over several
distributions)
Also today:
Internet Security Systems provides server security protection
for the latest Linux and Solaris operating systems
