Now this is a big one for Microsoft.....!!!!
HACKS AT ZDNet have made a brave claim that Apple operating systems are much less secure than Windows. This will almost certainly get a flood of anonymous emails from Apple Fanboys who will shout about how there are no viruses for Leopard. ZDNet has based its findings on all the known security flaws and placed them side by side. The results are fairly compelling. The vulnerability statistics come from Secunia and ZDNet broke them down by Windows XP flaws, Vista flaws, and Mac OS X flaws. Link : http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquir...windows-secure

That is true. At least with Microsoft, they release patches for zero-day vulnerabilities reported to them.
On the other hand, 30 zero day vulnerabilities were reported for OS X, one per day, but Apple ignored them and released no patches for its OS. It just goes to show that Apple is more fluff than something substantial. They aren't even concerned with the security of their users/customers.
