Perhaps because when a problem is found, we fix it right away?

Again, why are there more vulnerabilities found in the open source code? If security-through-obscurity doesn't work, then you would expect an equivalent number of vulnerabilities in closed source systems. But that doesn't seem to be happening...

I disagree. Your OS is not in my server room because it is unreliable. This goes directly to the heart of your "vulnerabilities" argument.

BTW, I'm more a Solaris/HP-UX/AIX guy than Linux.

I've been inside the beast. I know what's its like. MS does not believe in QA or testing. The most shocking thing I encountered was the total lack of engineering discipline.
