During calendar year 2004, the Windows platform recorded 52 vulnerabilities, while the default Linux installation included 174 vulnerabilities and the bare-boned version had 132 known flaws.

a more correct wording is ...Windows platform admitted 52 vulnerabilities.... windows seems to only publish vulnerabilities which others already know about, or to which they already have fixes, whereas the open source folks publish the vulnerabilities immediately so as many folks as possible will come up with the best fix.

interesting isn't it that Microsoft *copyrights* its bugs, so as to supress anyone from publishing them...

I thought that was just a joke.
