Not exactly a security person, but methinks there's some truth to the claim that Windows machines are more secure than Macs if only because Microsoft has to have a team of people thinking about security 24/7.
- brl 19y agoIt seems like such nonsense to talk about how one operating system is more secure than some other operating system since every single operating system ever written has had its ass handed to it over and over and over again by security researchers and hackers. Having only 10 security flaws is not really better in any meaningful sense than having 20 security flaws. It's not as if you have 'more secure' and 'less secure' when you add up the mistakes on both sides. What you're really comparing is one insecure operating system to another insecure operating system and there is no solid reason to believe that computer software can or will _ever_ be secure (whatever being secure means).
