I don't see how this is a surprise. Why would Microsoft care about testing browser security on other operating systems other than Windows when the goal of the site is to get users to upgrade their Internet Explorer versions? They did all the tests on Windows for each browser at a given time and just spits out the scores when a user visits the site depending only on the browser type. No test is rerun at that time.

The goal of the site seems to also be to get you to switch from Chrome, Firefox, etc. to IE9 with the implication being that you will be more secure. If it was clear anywhere that this was designed only to compare versions of IE perhaps that argument could be made. This is another pathetically veiled browser war tactic. While it might convince a few, I feel the larger result is the continued erosion of credibility for Microsoft and IE.
