so to stuff that into the mathematical model i was trying to develop earlier; you are saying that exploits/users is not a valid metric and that we should be focusing on total Vulnerabilities per Platform, even though there is some (not much) evidence that the number of users influences the number of vulnerabilities that are exploited? Perhaps I should discontinue my unreasonable efforts to be rational. -- http://Zoneverte.org -- information explained Do you know what your IT infrastructure does? _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
