I think that is rather inaccurate. I know companies like ISS claim on internal presentations that they do a lot of code auditing for companies like Microsoft. These audits are never publicly available and may contain significant numbers you can not see with closed-source products. The same procedure simply is not availble to open-source products which are developed in a completely different way. So I think that unless one can get these indoor figures out on the street there is no way you can compare figures. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.
