Actually they have that, it's called WebTV :D

So, to summarise, you've just defeated your own argument by revealing that Microsoft had to patch twice as many holes as Red Hat in the same period. That's why we say "oh it's insecure."

They patched twice as many holes for software that is 10x is big. That means the rate of error in Windows is less than the rate of error in Linux.

Have you read what I said a few posts above?
quote: Erm, no. First, that's 5 million lines of code. Second, you are comparing the Linux kernel with the whole Windows system, which includes drivers, .net, Explorer and the user interface. Linux is just a small part of OS, and doesn't include the GNU system and the applications bundled with it. A better comparison would be Microsoft Windows versus Red Hat Linux or another distribution.
