They are considered to be like the least secure Linux distributions out there. I've read that in some Linux magazine. If they'd have reviewed Ubuntu instead, Linux would certainly have gotten a better score. Red Hat and Fedora are bad examples.

I don’t know if they will ever catch up with the holes in IE simply because of the Active X technology. That is just a huge vulnerable spot for Microsoft and I don’t think it will start getting better anytime soon.

Often Microsoft pays a company to do this kind of research and it usually favors Microsoft.
