Oh yeah and what about my favorite
RedHat Enterprise Linux WS 3
What? This report is based on 98 advisories!?!? Could it be that all patches have been addressed? Why yes it can. Read it and weep.

And how about my second favorite Apple OS X.
Based on 38 advisories could it be yet again all the Secunia reported problems are patched? Why yest it can. I amagine that.

Hey Bill why don't you and Redmond not take this years Christmas vacation and work on fixing some holes. Just a suggestion from an near ex user.
