The Microsoft Windows application is more secure than you think, and Mac OS X is worse than you ever imagined. That is according to statistics published for the first time this week by Danish security firm Secunia.

If your a virus writer, do you want to attack 95% of internet users, or less then 5%...I think that speaks for itself.

But oh well if OSX is less secure. If Secunia tells Apple about these holes, apple can fix them. People just say its more secure because virus writers don't want a small portion attacked. They want the motherlode

That would be great if the other 98% of the world didn't disagree. Sometimes you just need to question things.
