“Microsoft held on to the top spot for the number of public exploits, followed by Hewlett Packard and Apple. The three vendors accounted for about half of all exploits found in the top ten list.”

How’s that gloat tasting? Did you read the article?

re: the disclosure rate: “Final results were close, according to the IBM X-Force 2008 mid-year report , with Apple achieving vulnerability disclosure score of 3.2 percent, followed by Joomla with 2.7 percent and Microsoft at 2.5 percent. “

Why is APPLE even on the list? That's what I want to know from the MAC crowd. Shouldn't they be on a special list or something? Are you now willing to accept patches and updates at a pace even higher than Microsoft and still pretend your world is all good?

As far as Microsoft being on top of the other list, SO WHAT? It is always there. That's not news at all. APPLE being NUMBER ONE on reported security vulnerabilities is big news and that is why I posted the article.
