Microsoft’s Security Chief Says Blah Blah
Security chief staunchley defends Microsoft product, less patches than Linux products too.
Nash staunchly defended the Redmond, Wash.-based developer’s progress, and compared Windows’ flaws with those in open-source Linux operating systems from Red Hat and Novell’s SuSE.
“Even with the relatively large number of bulletins we released this week, we compare favorably,” he said. “Year-to-date for 2005, Microsoft has fixed 15 vulnerabilities affecting Windows Server 2003. In the same time period, for just this year, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users have had to patch 34 vulnerabilities and SuSE Enterprise Linux 9 users have had to patch over 78 vulnerabilities.”
