Count vulnerabilities that have exploits (i.e, dangerous vulnerabilities)
Next catergorize them based on product group (e.g., kernel, distribution, browser, mail, organizer, etc.)
Now compare results.
I like the flow of vulnerabilities that are being reported against Linux products. It shows an attention to security issues and a desire to make things better. Many of the vulnerabilities are possible not proven. The vulnerability is fixed anyway. Over time, overall security improves.
I would like to see the Linux distributions default install be very secure. The distribution should make sure that all of the packages work properly in the secure environment.
