Apple still the least active in the wild vulnerabilities that affect it.
Vista has MANY MANY more vulnerabilities that affect it, many are carry-overs of old XP vulnerabilities which they aren't counting, or of windows based applications and third party software.
The way vulnerabilities are counted for Vista is highly questionable.
According to this XP was hardly vulnerable out of the box when it was new....ummm....have you put a virgin unpatched XP machine on the net...how many seconds does it take to get compromised on average again?
Put the same unpatched virgin Mac on the net...oh wait there are a lot and there are hardly any that have been compromised.
There are lots of ways to manipulate security statistics.
