I thought you might be interested in this report that has just been issued compiling the first year's worth of security vulnerability's found in Windows Vista, and comparing Windows XP and non-Microsoft OS's first year vulnerabilities.
These figures may be merely interesting until you consider the cost saving implications of reduced patches. A customer told me recently that each patch event costs them £30K, so this yr 1 reduction in patches would have delivered a direct £480,000 per annum saving to them running Vista over Windows XP!! Then there's the incalculable reduction in corporate risk from this reduction in vulnerabilities.
I won't comment but it's interesting to note the comparison to non-Microsoft operating systems. It certainly does fly in the face of some of the IT press reports that have surrounded Vista since it's launch.
