Yes, but that's because nothing M$ makes is *capable* of killing anybody 
[directly]. So a security flaw is about the most serious malfunction it 
*is* capable of. :-P

I was almost right. :-D

Either way, the number of severe security issues from M$ dwarfs this 
number by any reasonably reconing.

Isn't that like counting the number of bugs M$ had *and fixed* before 
"launching the product"?
