And... the article even said MS was the "best" at fixing vulnerabilities...
the quickest. 21 days on average to fix, compared to Apple's average of 66
days, Red Hat's 58 days, HP's 101 days and Sun's 121 days.

And I quote: "Microsoft was clearly the best," Friedrichs said. [at fixing
vulerabilites...]
