i think if u put mac OSX in the position of windows it will get more vulnerabities than windows..
so many people trying to break windows because windows has to most users.. and more people is more familiar to it..

i wouldnt say windows is the most secure OS and OSX do not win the title either.. all OSes has its own flaws just waiting for people to exploit..

p/s.. i own macbook.. i use windoze.. and i love fedora core... all has their pro n cons.. not siding any OSes

Windows is more secure? What a total CRAP.

well that depends. at the end of the day.. which one is ur pref?
as for myself.. working on Windows just like the image below :

Come on lah, don't judge secure or not like that one.

The fact is most of the hackers/virus creator out there targeted Windows platform because it is the most famous platform on earth, seem more than %94 of desktop market in the world used Windows. Only less than %5 used mac os. Let say mac os in future will gain %30 and above of desktop market, then by that time u will know whether this os secure or not.

So if u a hacker or virus creator which os do u interested the most?, if u create virus on mac platform, the impact is almost nothing because only %3 or less, so no one will know u as a virus creator. So r u still interested to attack Mac os?

p/s : I feel safe too while using Mac. Im not pro to windows more than Mac, but i used both most of the time.

CRAP or no CRAP.. it is still OSes... use at ur own will

Actually, last two or three years,
I remember there's community that test which OS is more secure.
They install Mac OS, Fedora Core and Windows SP1.
All from the original CD without any updates and guess what?
Windows is the most secure OS without updates, Mac is first runner up and
FC is second runner up. And after they install updates,
Mac is at the first place of most secure, FC is still at second place and
Windows fall to third place.
Please remember that that test does not mean which OS is easier
to be affected by viruses or malware or adware, or which OS restart frequently,
they test in the aspect of security flaws, based on how many 'flags'
they manage to put in each OS.
Well at that time it was Windows SP1, Mac OS Panther and FC 3 or 4 I think.
Don't know what is the situation now. But I believe their test because they're all
from Open-source community - which of course won't support Windows.
But yes, they still tell the truth.
Sorry I could not remember what is the community name.

The 98% is really true. I probably used the wrong word by saying Windows based. But certainly is not that far off the mark when users with Windows as their other OS is included in the score.

Hahaha...Simple, kenapa ada vista cetak rompak edition? Secure sangat ke kawan? Hahaha

Mac OS X 10.4.8 also got pirate what ..

but i' prefer to use original , and i'm still bajet to save for new Leopard
