It's a little hard to understand the decision criteria used, as reported by the article. Microsoft had 12 high severity problems (out of 39 reported fixed), Red Hat had 2 high severity problems out of 208 reported fixed, and Mac OS X had 1 high severity problem out of 43 reported fixed. Certainly "days until fixed" is important, but the article doesn't say how that was measured, so who knows if that's accurate/reasonable or not? Regardless of what or how Symantec was measuring, I do give Microsoft credit for trying to improve their security and response to security problems. I just think they still have a long way to go.
