Internet security wasn't near so big an issue when Windows 2000 was written, and thus while unacceptable, it make sense that XP is inherently less secure than OS X, as much as they patch over it (Which does help, just not enough.) OS X was written mostly from scratch (Well, from BSD.) and internet security was a bigger issue during it's creation.
1. Make software that breaks old version of iTunes 2. Make software that breaks new version of iTunes 3. Released version that breaks old iTunes 4. Wait for iTunes users to be forced to upgrade 5. Immmediatly release version that breaks new iTunes 6. Impress people 7. ???? 8. Profit!
For those who don't get it, that's a reference to the movie Mallrats, where a minor character spends an entire day trying to find the hidden image of a sailboat, getting more and more frusturated as small childern and other people see it almost instantly.
Why don't they make a type of verification where both the hash and the filesize are used?
Seems to me that there are a finite number of comobnations of an x bit file that have the same hash, and in all likely hood they wouldn't be able to insert something malicious into one of those comobnations..
Can anyone point out why this wouldn't work? it seems kind of obvious to me, but again IANAC.

maybe the workers with email are more likely to have an above median-wag job?
Do you think people who would by a $500 laptop at wal-mart would notice before they got it home and tried to plug in their old mouse?

The fact that some programs are badly coded enough that you need to run as Admin to use them isn't Windows' fault, it's shoddily coded software.
