Mozilla on average fixed its bugs within one day of exploits surfacing, Apple within five days, Microsoft within nine daysBetter headline: Microsoft takes almost twice as long to fix browser bugs. or: We're Symantec, Please Buy Our Stuff for OSX!

FUD piled on FUD. PING!
I am trying to think of twelve Safari vulnerabilities that Apple allowed to remain open for 5 days... and can't come up with them. Anybody? My recollection is that Apple was the one who announced any vulnerabilities and that was always at the time they released the fixes.
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

. During the first six months of 2006 malicious users discovered 12 bugs in Safari... This is a blatant falsehood... if "malicious users" had discovered the 12 bugs in Safari, then there would have been twelve exploits of those bugs. There weren't. In actual fact, due to the open nature of OS X and its applications, the "malicious users" were UNIX programers who noted problems and reported them to Apple.
Apple fixed them.
Don't buy Norton... or anything from fear mongers such as Symantec.

In other news, Symantec continues its pathetic attempt to drum up Mac business by pulling new threats out of its @ss.

truth is I have had it with PC's
I just have gotten a mac mini and love it. My pc seems to at least once a yr, need a replacement part.Not to mention virus's and spy-ware, I run all kinds of programs just to try and keep my PC safe. The mac never needed any. The G3 I have still works without any problems, just outdated. Time for a Mac Pro.
