What many tend to forget because MS and others have blinded them to the 
fact is that RH may have had more security alerts but outside of the 
kernel RH is not linux..the linux operating system is the 
kernel..everything else is third party...MS by their own adminission has 
windows tied into everything in the instlalation(IE, WMP..etc etc) and a 
flaw in one of these programs is a flaw in the entire system.  BIG 
difference in architecture big difference in overall security...you 
cannot compare windows to a linux distro becuase the distro itself IS 
not linux..:)
