It wasn't until Windows 7 that windows finally got a reasonable security approach. I don't know what install bases look like these days but most PCs I interact with are still on XP which is obviously not harder to exploit that OS X.
- blub 15y agoThat is not correct, most of the security improvements were already implemented in Vista, which was released in 2007.
- adamc 15y agoYes, but Microsoft has acknowledged that there were weaknesses in its 32-bit ASLR implementation for Vista; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_space_layout_randomization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_space_layout_randomizat...
