Stanford Confirms: Linux Has Fewer Bugs!

This WIRED NEWS article says after a four year analysis of 5.7 million lines of Linux source code, the Linux kernel programming code if better and more secure than the programming code of most proprietary software.

Linux 2.6 Kernal has 985 bugs in 5.7 million lines of code. Commercial software typically has 20 to 30 bugs for every 1,000 lines of code according to experts. This means that if Linux Kernal 2.6 was a commercial product, it should contain 114,000 to 171,000 bugs. Just a thought... Windows XP (a commercial product) has 40 million lines of code. :)
