[QUOTE="GLJones, post: 37292, member: 3220"] The entire article is nothing worth worrying about. They are using their own arbitrary criteria for determining what a critical issue is. Also, Windows issues and OS X issues are very different. Windows doesn't have the same security methods so comparing would be hard. The reality is, OS X is MUCH more secure in the real world. Of all the updates posted since OS X came out, only ONE was considered critical by Apple. Over 1/2 of Microsoft's updates were labled critical. I have administered all three (Windows/Linux/OS X) types of servers and the Windows servers take much more work to keep running. My Linux server requires an occasional bit of maintenance and the OS X has never required anything more than the occasional Update from Apple. It just keeps running. Enjoy your Macs. They are far superior to PCs when it comes to viruses, spyware and crashing. Linux is comparable to OS X but OS X has a far superior GUI. Jerry [/QUOTE]
