Hmmm
this is the second Open Source application / program that has had this kind of report... I am seeing a trend here.

I mean, 2 very large Open Source products have received great coding reviews, i.e. fewer bugs / security issues than equivalant closed source apps. Seems that all the people bashing the quality of Open Source need to take a round turn and re-think thier position. Seems that the code coming from the "free" coders is better than the code coming from the "paid" coders.

Okay let's hear the defense on this!
