From: "Joe Barr" 


You're full of shit.

Now that is OK, it's your right to be so fucking g stupid that you believe
Windows more secure than anything.  But I am certainly going to call you on
it when you post outright lies.

Read this slowly.  It is quoting CERT re this FUD:

"CERT believes Aberdeen drew too much from its numbers. The
organization doesn't draw any conclusions from its advisories on the
vulnerability of open-source software vs. Microsoft or any other seller of
proprietary applications. Instead of comparisons, the group focuses on
identifying and studying security problems it considers most serious based
on CERT's own metrics. That covers about 20 percent of all known
vulnerabilities, said Shawn Hernan, senior member of the CERT technical
staff..."
