A new security flaw in Vista’s kernel was discovered this week. This is the kind of thing that has made Vista very unpopular. However, while there are significant issues with the current version of Windows, the rest of the computing-world isn’t off the hook, either. A security issue involving OpenSSL on Debian and Ubuntu has been discovered which leaves a huge number of users open to attack. The full story is a much better read than I could give in a summary. It’s interesting, to say the least, that when security-issues of equal magnitude don’t get the same amount of press because of the stigma attached to one vendor over another.
