FOSS = More security?

Name: Anonymous 2010-01-17 10:52

Microsoft claims that the reason IE has the most vulnerbilities is because it's the most popular not because there is inherently wrong with IE per se. They argue, if firefox became the most popular people would start finding vulnerbilities in it and exploit them. Do you agree with this? People often say that with linux there is very low market penetration so people don't bother writing viruses for it though it is very simple.

Another thing, if software is closed source does that make it generally more secure than open source software? If you have the source code available does this make it easier to find vulnerbilites than closed source?
