As part of my work for Microsoft, I have spent a lot of time analyzing OS security, customer feedback, metrics for progress, and where those three things intersect. One thing I've discovered is that there is quite a large gap between the theoretical idea of security and the practical security concerns of customers. This article is the second of a four-part series in which I'll be examining those customer concerns and raising questions to think about with respect to using either a Microsoft Windows–based or a Linux-based operating system. It is not uncommon that any given vulnerability found will affect multiple products or versions of a product. Although that fact is obvious upon reflection, I want to dig a little deeper to expose how Microsoft and the Linux/Open Source community handle the issue and to examine some of the practical implications for customers................
