"Some of the show's 400 attendees had found bugs in the Linux operating system, she said, but many of them didn't want to put the work into developing the exploit code that would be required to win the contest."
My conclusion: Linux bug finders are: 1. too lazy to exploit bugs, 2. too rich to care for $10,000, or 3. Both. OSX and Vista bug finders are: 1. not too lazy to exploit bugs, 2. not too rich that $10,000 is worth passing up, or 3. Both.
