What's new in that ? In every edition of Faildows (i.e. Windows),
there are security vulnerabilities removed and some added; which then
lies with the OS till the next edition arrives.

Its simple, if Windows does not have vulnerabilities, what is it McAffey gonna sell? You see McAffey and Microsoft are business partners. The business model is - 'Enslave your customers and rob them as much as possible'.

Exactly, in fact many times when I was using Faildows, I used to
wonder that where do so many viruses come from ? Are these just a way
of selling those antiviruses,etc.

Linux is open to everyone. Then why dont it have as much number of
virus threats as that of Faildows i've?
