> Microsoft has been officially dethroned as the most vulnerable operating system in 2014. And the most vulnerable mobile operating system. Congratulations, Apple!

From the article:

> Adobe, everyone's expected leader, sits safely at 316, much behind OS X's tally. So much for Apple's security reputation.
"Safely"??? Adobe Flash??? Are you out of your mind? Or a shill? Or both? Based on your posting record, I might be inclined to think "both".

Speaking for a moment as the keeper of the Free Republic Windows/Microsoft Ping List, I'd like to congratulate YOU, Up Yours, for posting one of the most misleading and overall foolish tech threads in quite a long time.

The folks who run the CVE, and the folks over at CVEdetails.com, know that different reported vulnerabilities have wildly different importance and impact. For example, using the selector at CVEdetails, there are:

and others. So I have to ask you (rhetorically -- don't feel obliged to answer):
Do you not comprehend the difference between a software bug and an operational vulnerability?

Do you not comprehend the difference between a vulnerability and an exploit?

I think not.

Please understand, I'm not excusing nor apologizing for ANY of the entries on HackRead's article's list. All those entries belong there. But they are simply TOTALs without regard to importance or impact.

The article's inane gloating, and your subsequent gloating-by-proxy, are so blatantly ignorant as to be laughable.

So in your honor, as the holder of the "Most Technically Ignorant and Overall Foolish Tech Thread of 2016" Award, I will in a moment ping the Windows List so that they can come and commiserate over the fall of Windows as Vulnerability Leader.

And the year is brand-new! I'm confident that before the year is over, in your endless striving, you will have posted another such thread that exceeds even this one in technical ignorance and foolishness. Onward!

And a Happy New Year to you!

Bravo, dayglored. Well done.
