"A million regular users can help to make a program more reliable (due to bug reports), but they won't make it more secure. (Except to the extent that those million users attract more attackers.) " I agree with this if "more secure" means less likely to ever have a vulnerability, but not if it is measured in how long it takes for one to be found & fixed (although some of that also has to do with open/closed source).
