Is Vista More Secure Than Linux?
It’s debatable. Microsoft claims that Vista has less vulnerabilities in the first six months since the product was introduced compared to its predecessor Windows XP and Red Hat Linux Enterprise 4. That may be.
Does it mean it’s more secure? Not necessarily. So far, there were 12 Windows Vista vulnerabilities noted in the National Institute of Standards (NIST) in which 10 of them were rated severe, 1 medium and 1 low.
In comparison, Windows XP had 36 and 23 of them were rated high in the first six months. Red Hat Enterprise 4 had 129 bugs in which 40 of them were ranked as severe. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Workstation was worst having 281 vulnerabilities in which 86 of them were severe.
So, Is Vista more secure? Give it some time, then we can make that claim.
Right now, it’s too early to tell.
