[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 551521, member: 21101"] Isn't this like the Firefox vs IE security 'flaws' as well. Windows packages up all it's security flaws into single fixes (which is why some stay out there for literally months) and also don't publish or even admit to some of the flaws, whereas Apple identify the flaws and fix them as they arise. You can see this by the fixes, as and when they're released. So a single Windows patch might fix 30 problems. Now if you add up all the time from the point a vulnerability becomes known to when fixed, and how often it is exploited in the real world during that time, you'd get a very different picture. Do you know anyone, anyone at all, who's had their Mac hacked or compromised due to a known flaw? Me neither... [/QUOTE]
