There were over 2,600 software bugs reported from May to July across the ‘top 20’ products, including flaws in highly sector-specific applications, which could be a worrying sign of things to come, according to Secunia.
 
The vulnerability management division of Flexera Software claimed in its latest Vulnerability Update that there were 2,686 flaws in the top 20 most buggy products appraised, in line with the November 2015-January 2016 list after a brief dip to 1,768 in February-April this year.
 
Microsoft topped the list of the most buggy vendors with a total of 518 vulnerabilities reported, with Windows 10, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8 and Windows RT the four products landing in the top 20.

Well, only to be expected when one has the most complete & most used OS on the planet...having said that Microsoft obviously need to keep working hard to get the flaws dealt with...but they do seem to be doing that via a now well tried & tested system...which is good news.

The way things have been going lately I can well imagine Apple moving quickly up the leader board and ahead of MS - which is where strangely enough the apple users amongst us think it should be, ahead of MS 😉
