    Security Vulnerabilities directly proportionate to Popularity?

    I believe so. It is funny in a way, and I could go on and say to all the Apple fans / Steve Jobs worshipers - "in your face suckers!" ( Security flaw hits Safari (Windows) only hours after release ). But I'm not going to say anything or do anything of that sort, there's no reason for me to! Because I (and I'm not the only one who) believe that there is a direct relation between the popularity of a software and the number of security vulnerabilities that are discovered for that...
