I would think that security in this regard is far easier for Apple than it is for Microsoft. By virtue of their closed hardware, Apple has a very limited set of graphics cards for OS X to support. I'd imagine that this makes graphics drivers a lot easier to police and keep secure.
- pmjordan 15y agoLet's face it, AMD, nVidia and Intel have >99% of the PC GPU market, and 100% of the Mac market. The drivers only change from one chip generation to the next, and the Mac has had chips from all recent generations from all 3 manufacturers. The total number of drivers is therefore identical. I really don't think there's much in it. See also: Silverlight's XNA.
