Network World has posted an article about data which shows that Windows Vista is more secure than its precursor, Windows XP.

“Moving onto Vista is clearly a safe bet. For us, it’s a clear indicator that attacking Vista or trying to exploit Vista specifically is becoming much more difficult,” said Vinny Gullotto of Microsoft. He is the general manager of the company’s malware protection center.

The article also notes statistics in general about vulnerabilities. There are 77 vulnerabilities from January to June of this year compared to the last six months of 2007 which are 116.
