I don't consider the web/mail/ftp servers, windows managers, browsers, mail 
clients etc. to be part of the operating system, per se.

Certainly a vulnerability in Apache should not be a strike against Linux, 
should it?

I would definitely not doubt that Microsoft does though. After all,
it's part of Windows, so they'll have to see it as part of Linux if
they want to have well-selling figures.

What is fact and what Microsoft will call fact are two exactly
orthogonal things, most of the time.

I like how the article quoted Steve Ballmer comparing Windows 2000
Server and W2K3 Server with Red Hat 6. Why doesn't Ballmer compare
the state of the art Windows OS' available at the time RH6 came
out? Did Windows NT 4 not stack up as well against RH6 as W2K/3?

Good point! Red Hat 6 was like, what, 2000 or 1999?
