I'll turn the tables. Show me bugs in which the Windows kernel caused a vulnerability

How can I? Microsoft does not release information about its kernel to the general public like Apple and the Open Source OSes-- xBSD and GNU/Linux. In fact, Microsoft has tried to bully several organizations in order to prevent the general public from receiving information regarding an insecurity of Windows. What do they have to hide Bush2000? Even "proprietary" Apple has their kernel open for the whole world to view...for free!

Wrong. You can easily search the database of hotfixes and security bulletins. They describe exactly where the bug was found and the component it affects.
