Security is a checkoff item, and if you can convince a retired major that the OS is secure, then he will approve it. He is not going to check the details. His expertise is in guard stations and chain link fences. However, if someone, e.g. the trade press, rubs his nose in the fact that an OS's security can be breached, then he will take action. He will pressure the publisher to release a fix that they say will fix the problem. When they do, he will be happy.
Microsoft particulary, is oriented to selling product, not pride in workmanship.
