The British security firm mi2g has concluded a comprehensive 12-month study to identify the safest 24/7 computing environment. In the end, the open source BSD and Mac OS X came out on top with the fewest security breaches against permanently connected machines worldwide in homes, small businesses, large enterprises and governments. The study found Linux to be the most breached environment 'in terms of manual hacker attacks overall and accounts for 65.64% of all breaches recorded'. Windows was the most breached environment in government computing and led Linux, BSD and Mac OS X by far in economic damage caused by breaches.

Study didn't take into account self-spreading Windows viruses and trojans so it give Windows a huge advantage, even though it doesn't come out on top.

Mac OS X for life

Maybe someday the general public will wake up and realize this. When a friend tells me about a trojan or virus that completely screwed up their computer first they ask me to fix it, but I tell them the only real way to fix it is to buy a Mac they get pissed off at me. I just laugh and tell them to continue to enjoy Windows/Linux.
