There is no way I am ever going to install vista on one of my computers and actually test this.

That's it! I'm getting Vista and never going back to Mac! I've had it! I'm sick of the viruses, spyware, adware...I've had enough.

This will be my last post on MacNN, since I'm going to throw my PowerBook on the ground immediately after clicking the "Post Quick Reply" button.

ALRIGHTY! I have now an excuse to buy a Intel Mac and download Vista from a torrent site or five.

I really guess it true. Less people on an OS = more security.

It's because Vista puts grates on the intarweb tubes.

I'm a few hours into my Vista venture. This is what my computing experience looks like now...



Oh, I'm so glad I switched to Vista!!! ** Am I supposed to use emoticons at this point, so that no one takes this serious?

So one exploit with Quicktime makes OSX less secure than Vista?

No, he made it clear in the article that an in-depth examination of Vista's code shows it's written in a more secure way. This statement was made apart from the Java/Quicktime/Safari exploit in OS X.

He tried to find his way out of Vista’s menus and sadly, before he managed, hunger and dehydration claimed his life.

Actually, I was decapitated by the sharpness of the new Aero Glass interface.
