This guy is an idiot and i fail to believe that he knows what he is talking about. He didnt mention for once that OS-X is built off FreeBSD, one of the most secure OSs (by default).

ANY operating system is only as secure as the 3rd party software is and/or as secure as the operator of the machnie is.

any person who enables file sharing without restrictions is an idiot and deserves to have all their shit deleted anyways.

This is what cracks me up "Ultimately, those on the Mac fringe have to face facts: Panther and Jaguar were not better at outrunning vulnerabilities than Windows.". Ok, so, Windows machines are just as secure as unix machines? OOOOOKKKKAY THERE

an invalid dhcp response would really only result from a malicious sysadmin doing something, doesnt exactly sound like a critical flaw to me.

i'd rather have that vulnerability than have to deal with the adware/spyware/autoinstalling dialers shit that windows users are forced to deal with.

the only employee of the company who uses windows has had almost 2 full days of downtime because of malicious adware that was forced onto his computer. it's cost me a bundle to say the least.
