also, the mac deprecates its api like crazy, and i'm not even talking about the shift from carbon to cocoa - that's another (painful) story in itself. microsoft on the other hand has been pretty consistent with it's api over the years. i've written software for xp/vista that could still run on windows 95. so ms has made it easier for programmers to find exploits. remember the one they found for activex? that hole had been around since forever, but it took someone like 15 years to find it and exploit it.
the lay person/public really doesn't understand all this. they just follow the mob mentallity and latch on to whatever argument they hear without a real understanding of why the vulnerabilities really exist and why they only exist for the ms platform.
again, i use both os's, so understand that i'm not THAT biased. just the facts, mang.
- yeah I agree with you that Windows is dragging way too much baggageernexbcn
