good lord... is this a joke? They compare windows 2003 server to redhat 
6.0! Thats pretty damn close to apples and oranges. How about NT4.0 to 
RH6.... thats a more level playing field? Even 2k3 vs. RH9 would be a 
bit more on point. I fail to see how you can compare software that is 5 
years old to something that was just released.

"there were 17 critical vulnerabilities. For Windows Server 2003, there 
were four. For Red Hat Linux 6, they were five to ten times higher."
