Windows Vista won't let that stuff in. I have two machines running it now with no problems at all. Non.....ZIP....NADA!

Mac's ain't perfect either. I understand they recently proved the OS could be hacked in 30 seconds or less......LOL.

There was one defect in the Safari browser that allowed this. It was quickly fixed. In practice, the spyware/virus problem on Mac is almost nonexistent. Believe me, I've used every version of Windows since 3.1, and every version of MacOS and OS X. There is simply no way Windows can compare to the worry-free robustness of OS X.

Think again. Vista is better, but far from perfect. It still needs to be heavily configured in order to be truly malware-proof. Meanwhile, OS X is malware-proof out of the box.

Your recollection of the PWN2OWN contest is flawed. Check out the FR thread on it.
