Wow you are posting the very thing you say macbots don’t post. What version of windows are you comparing against? Make it a fair fight. I have gotten 0 viruses on windows. In fact my whole family has 0 virsus malware Trojans etc... What’s your point?
My point is simple people claim OSX is more se ure than windows 7 and its not. OSX actually is the first to fall in hacking competitions year after year. Not sure about this years though I need to check when it is.
I like Win7. I've gotten zero malware on my four Win7 installations. It's about as secure as OS-X became a few years ago. They're about equal these days, in my opinion.
However, a cubic ton of Windows users are STILL using XP and many (most?) are STILL not patching in a timely fashion. You cannot avoid dealing with the ACTUAL installed base of Windows users by saying that the latest version is secure therefore the rest don't count.

You know as well as I do that those competitions have NOTHING to do with evaluations of robustness, and are merely set up by the trade magazines for the sake of putting "Apple", "Mac", and "Security flaw" in the same headline. They are set up in advance, scripts are written and tested in advance, and everybody knows that the prize goes to the person who hacks the Mac.
Don't be such a credulous fool. it's unbecoming an FR member.
