"Not hard to find an example:
http://zone-h.org/news/id/4737"
That example doesn't back up any of the OP's claims (or the claims made in your post), it's 5 years out of date, and many of the vulns it focusses on are nothing to do with the OS anyway.
"Anyway - this isn't exactly news - "
That's true, A.C.Shillingworths are two a penny and they pop up in el Reg's forums on a regular basis, so we do tend to see the same unsupported assertions over and over again. It's funny how so many A.C.s come up with the same opinion - it's almost as if it's actually originating from a single source - perhaps a malign marketing department with a track record of FUD...
"Windows has had fewer vulnerabilities than commercial Linux distributions like Redhat and SUSE (and OS-X) that were on average patched faster every year for the last decade."
You claim the evidence is "not hard to find", yet you provided no evidence to support any of the claims in the original post or the post I am replying to. If you had evidence, and were willing to stand by it, you wouldn't be posting as A.C.Shillingsworth.
By the way "OS-X" has nothing to do with Linux, that really is something you should be aware of if you are commenting on the relative merits of OSes with respect to their vulnerabilities.
