    Goofy wording, but the guy has a point. Windows comes out of the box like a boat made of mesh, while OS X comes built like a warship. You can drill holes in the bootom of the warship if you want, but the mesh on Windows will take alot more effort to patch. :) Sorry for the goofy analogy, but that's the basic point. ....OpenBSD on the other hand is kind of like a Nuclear Missile Sub. ;) - just a thought.
