Well I couldn't open reports "The Costs and Risks of Open Source"
and "Is Linux More Secure Than Windows?"; broken PDF files.
Censorship by M$?  I'd say the three points displayed (Responsiveness, 
Thoroughness and Relative Security) illustrate how selective their research 
is.  Kind of reminds me of when I drove a Yugo and these were officially 
the safest cars on the road, because no one had died in them in the 
measuring period.  They overlooked the fact that most Yugo's wouldn't go 
fast enough to kill you and as the Balkans war was going on, the cars were 
being pulled off the road because you couldn't get spares anymore (which is 
why I retired mine).
