Windows tops Linux in security demo
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
In a development that may surprise some, Microsoft's Windows Server 2003 emerged victorious over a rival Red Hat Linux operating system for computer servers. That was using the security-related criteria agreed upon in advance by Linux backer Richard Ford of the Florida Institute of Technology and Windows enthusiast Herbert Thompson of application-security firm Security Innovation.
In the end, Windows Server owed its victory largely to Microsoft's progress in reducing the number of vulnerabilities in the operating system over the past few years.
