For some people, counting the number of security flaws that one OS has compared to another is important because it offers a metric upon which to determine which OS is the most secure. However, many claim that Microsoft stacks the deck in its favor by not disclosing a full list of vulnerabilities that have been patched by omitting to include those discovered and patched in-house.

Well, for those of you who do count security flaws then SP1 is likely to annoy you because it will contain an unknown number of fixes that aren’t being disclosed.
