Well, come on...that’s because there are consequences...

If there were no consequences, we would all be able to eat giant banana splits each night...:)

Regardless of the hows or whys, the fact is that security precautions are not nearly an onerous on both of those platforms.

Everyone talks about the reasons, and it may not be fair that all the hackers seem to attack Windows for whatever reasons, but it is what it is. Windows servers and PC’s are the ones that get focused attacks, so they are the ones you gotta put the electronic chastity belt on.

You and I both know that any computer hooked up to a network and not maintained by someone who is highly knowledgeable and proficient at what they do, can be rendered useless by someone who knows what they are doing regardless of the platform.

Yep, which is why I don’t go running to Apple for servers when Windows based servers do just fine. Most hacks don’t even go after the servers, they go after the routers and switches in DOS attacks.
