Why Windows is safer than the Mac
Mac users have long gloated that the Mac OS is safer than Windows. The gloating should stop: There's plenty of recent evidence that Vista is, in fact, a safer operating system than Mac OS X.
The most public piece of evidence is the recent "Pwn to Own" challenge, in which security pros were issued the challenge of trying to break into three laptops, a Mac, a PC laptop running Vista SP1, and a laptop running Ubuntu.
The first to fall was the Mac -- and it took a grand total of less than two minutes for security researcher Charlie Miller to break in. Miller targeted the Mac for a simple reason --- breaking in was like taking candy from a baby.
