So here I was, surfing Security Focus, and I noticed they track every
vulnerability for Windows, Solaris, and Linux.  I put this page
together:
http://georgetoft.com/security/survey/index.shtml
to count the vulnerabilities.  Why spend 5 minutes counting when I can 
write a script in an hour to do the same thing?  Because it is as 
current as Security Focus.

Interesting numbers - they directly contradict Microsoft's statements
about their security.  No Linux bias here, nosiree!  That's why I
chose a vendor-neutral site for my data.
