PC Mag - Mac OS X Insecure

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the no-big-surprise-here dept.

Suki writes "In this recent story a PC Mag writer concludes that "Panther and Jaguar were not better at outrunning vulnerabilities than Windows" and as my personal fav. ends by asking "How cocky are you feeling now, Mac elite? Hmm. Suddenly it's gotten pretty quiet around here." The article discusses many previous Windows security holes against a recent Mac OS X security flaw."

    Heebie JEEBUS, If this guy isnt someone that is desperately looking to validate his existence I don't know anyone who is. To go about comparing one, frankly obscure, dhcp exploit compared to the neverending cavalcade of windows holes. I wonder if mr self satisfaction actually has a timeline of windows exploits and issued patches. I doubt his wall would be long enough to hang such a thing.

    It's a Troll post because (1) it's on apple.slashdot.org and (2) it may be interpreted as anti-mac sentiment.

    FYI, for future reference, failing to bash MS with sufficient vigor on apple.slashdot.org is also considered trolling.

    Hope that helps!
