And your own life is improved how, exactly? Hoping for the destruction of others is a form of envy; the same kind of envy exploited by Dems when they yammer on about soaking the rich.

I am not avocating anyone's destruction. I am just happy to see a plate full of crow being feed to the MAC crowd at long last. They so deserve it after all their years of bashing all the non-Apple things in the world. Apple is a fine company and probably won't be destroyed by being NUMBER ONE in reported security vulnerabilities.(Two notches ABOVE Microsoft by the way.)

Apple: Vulnerabilities reported and patched.

Microsoft: Vulnerabilities exploited in the wild, used in attacks on machines that cost billions of dollars in downtime, hijacked machines and networks, IT labor, and lost data.

Is this a distinction you’re having a hard time understanding?

You sure are getting exercised about a difference of 0.7%.

I just read the actual report, not just read the article. Here are some facts:

Apple is 0.7% ahead of Microsoft on the list for reported vulnerabilities.

Microsoft is two places head of Apple on vulnerabilities for which there is an actual exploit, and this includes proof-of-concept (which is most Apple exploits).

The top 10 active, in-the-wild-doing-bad-stuff-right-now malware for each of seven different categories were for Windows.

The headline looks bad for Apple, actually reading the report looks bad for Microsoft.
