I'm wondering what kinds of skills are needed to find these vulnerabilities. I imagine they could be used for good and bad reasons. Maybe arrange a collection of about 20 people with these skills and have them find 20-30 vulnerabilities in OSX, Windows, and Linux, and then see which company(I'm using this term loosely since I'm including Linux) solves the problems fastest.

Honestly, the way to solve the problems with the vulnerabilities is for Linux to come up with a way to make the other two lose market share. How about closed source Linux games, with all the security measures open source?
