Interesting, but misleading, while I don't doubt your numbers in the least, I think its inaccurate to not point out that the majority of all of those bugs reported in windows affects everyone running windows, whereas a minority of those affecting RHEL affects everyone running RHEL.

Furthermore, you need to also ask how many patches has MS released for other peoples products? How many has RH released? How many of the bugs left unpatched in RHEL are for products created by RH or products that RH has a significant interest in (i.e. linux kernel [how many linux kernel developers work for RH?]). How many of those unpatched bugs in RHEL are being actively exploited? How many of those unpatched bugs are being actively exploited in MS products (i.e. msjet40.dll), How many of those products that RHEL has not patched are produced by third party vendors when there are no patches released by the vendor, so on and so forth.

That isn't to say RH is not responsible for releasing patches, I'm just saying that this post is misleading because of the metrics it leaves out in its analysis- of course, all of these types of articles normally are (regardless of which side of the debate the author is on)
