Second, it is not completely accurate to say that OpenBSD is more
secure. If you compare vulnerability counts just from the last 3 months,
OpenBSD had 79 for November, December and January compared to 11 for
Microsoft (and that includes one each for Office and Exchange - so
really 9 for all versions of Windows). I encourage you to look at the
numbers reported at the OpenBSD site to verify that this is true.
According to http://openbsd.org/security.html, the last two releases
of OpenBSD have had 8 vulnerabilities (and that includes two that
apply to both releases - so really 6 for both releases of OpenBSD).
Maybe he is counting vulnerabilities in ports?
