In addition to comparing Vista to XP, Jeff Jones, director of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing Group, compared Vista to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, which saw some 129 bugs during its first six months of availability. On the basis of these numbers, Jones concluded that Vista is more secure than its open-source counterpart.
According to Microsoft 's Trustworthy Computing Group, the software giant's latest operating system is far more secure than competing platforms -- or even previous Windows iterations.
"The Windows Vista Six-Month Day Vulnerability Report" offers insights into the total fixed and unfixed Vista vulnerabilities, plus a comparative view of Linux, OpenOffice, and other applications. The report is available as a PDF download on the blog of Jeff Jones, the security strategy director in Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing Group.
