Cox was reluctant to compare the relative security merits of open-source and proprietary software but said Linux was affected by less critical vulnerabilities.

WHY NOT DUDE. HOW DID YOU COME TO A CONCLUSION IF YOU DID NOT COMPARE.


However, Cox also warned that past performance was no guarantee of future results, unless the open-source community develops technologies to stop future Linux vulnerabilities.

WHAT!!!
ISNT THIS JUST CONTRADICTORY TO WHAT YOU JUST SAID.


"Whether it's open source or closed source doesn't really make a difference--the issue is whether the software has been designed with security in mind," Cox said.

ANOTHER FLIP FLOP HERE.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU IMPLYING, WINDOWS VISTA IS NOT DESIGNED WITH SECURITY IN MIND. IF SO WHEN AND FROM WHICH PLANET DID YOU ARRIVE FROM.
