Lol!

The Mac is a ****ing joke. That's not even brute force hacking; that's
temper tantrum hacking. Anyone defending the platform is an idiot.

Nobody said that Windows is better. If anything, Linux is the only one
that's truly any good when it comes to security. However, with
sandboxed apps, a built-in anti-virus, UAC and SmartScreen in the
browser, it's making more of an effort than Apple is IMO. Security
experts have already stated that most of the Windows issues would be
remedied by making it harder to obtain administrative rights and that
simply means tweaking UAC. If people needed to do more than just press
OK when something wants to install itself covertly, Microsoft could
solve a lot of problems.

Also, say what you will about forced updates but they're a good thing
considering how many stupid, stupid people still exist. While most of
us know how important it is to update, the majorty believes that their
time is too precious and the end result is that the rest of the world
has to suffer for their laziness.
