Nitpicking out of context? Sensationalist headline? I assume you and everyone who voted you up didn't actually read the study.
What Secunia did study was described as "In the first part of the report we look at the global picture covering all vulnerabilities in all products, followed by the analysis of
vulnerabilities affecting the products and the operating system found on typical end-users PCs." And all their graphs are limited to XP, Vista and 7. So...probably limited to Windows. And they also define 3rd-party software for you as non-Microsoft vendors in the sidebar of page 9.
So yeah, everything by Apple is 3rd party software in the context of the study cited.
