Do we get to discount that like the original article tries to shrug off Microsoft vulnerabilities because they come from 3rd parties?

The article original was based on a Secunia study that includes ALL vulnerabilities, including 3rd party ones, and Microsoft still smoked Apple.

The original article is PP World spin, trying to use meaningless statistics and metrics to prove a point they want to prove.

The original article is based on tests from Secunia, one of the most reputable security firms in the business, and Apple products come first in security vulnerabilities.
No amount of spin on your part is going to change the reality on the groound

As to your claim that Windows 7 is so much more secure, how about these recent stories (Google “Windows 7 virus” and go to “News”): “

Your link does not disprove the fact that Win 7 is more secure than OSX. It merely talks about a particular Windows security exploit.

Note that changing the query to “Mac OS X virus” only brings up stories about 1) Windows viruses or 2) The fact that Mac OS X doesn't have viruses.

It shows that fanatical, crazy Applpebots have gamed the search engines to hide Apple's products security vulnerabilities?
Kinda like how the loony left crazies gamed Google search so that a search on nasty traits usually came up with George Bush's name when Bush was in power?

Wow, adjust that tin-foil hat before you lose all oxygen to your brain. Are you seriously suggesting that there are stories about real-world, in-the-wild Mac OS X viruses, but that they're just buried because "crazy Applpebots have gamed the search engines"?

Seek mental health help, and then maybe I'll bother discussing the issue with you further.
