...Aberdeen Group reports that more than 50 percent of all security advisories that CERT issued in the first 10 months of 2002 were for Linux and other open-source software solutions.

Security advisories for open-source and Linux software accounted for 16 out of the 29 security advisories

They are not saying that Linux had more security problems than Windows, they are lumping Linux together with ALL open source software. There is a big difference.

From what I understand, the major versions of Linux (Mandrake, Red Hat, and the PRC rip-off of Red Hat - Red Flag) ARE open-source.

I'll stick with Windows.
