That's because the vulns are repeated across the Windows versions, adding the versions together counts the same vuln multiple times

- justwalt 8y agoI’m not sure if it’s worse to have the same vulnerability across two versions, or to have two distinct vulnerabilities.
- craftyguy 8y agoIt's almost like saying "vulnerabilities in our code exist for decades before they are noticed by anyone (with a whitehat)". Sure, that happens in open source projects too (openssl anyone?), but it seems like an exception rather than a rule. If there are so many of these multiple-version vulnerabilities in Windows that the author of the list had to specifically break Windows into individual versions, then that speaks for itself.
