Apple says they do it because of security reasons. Windows' open and liberal way of doing things made it a fertile ground for millions of viruses. But I still think every OS should be open for developing and distribution of software no matter how serious malware threat is.
- Neil44 6y agoI think thats disengenuous by Apple. Security gets you 5%, maybe 10. Not 30%. Let's face it their service to developers isn't exactly first rate.
- tornato7 6y agoThey say that, but this removal has exactly nil to do with security. Apple was getting $300m / year in revenue from this one app. Does it really cost that much to check this app for viruses? I don't think they'll be winning in court with this argument.
- dzonga 6y agowindows, is based because of the underlying os system fundamentals. once you've sandboxing in place. i.e apps are restricted to user level. then malware becomes something of the past.
- mrkramer 6y agoMost of the modern Windows malware detects sandbox and never activates or some even escape sandbox environment.
