That number is a little inaccurate, as the number of issues for
Linux+Unix are bound to be multiplied by the number of distributions
(lots) who include the various faulty packages as oposed to the number
of Windows versions (less). I'm not saying that the alternative
operating systems are fault-free, but inaccurate figures don't help
anyone :(
