Mac users have long viewed their machines as relatively “safe,” but new data indicates that the Vista operating system might be even more secure.
Jeff Jones, who works within Microsoft’s Trustworthy Computing group, “published a report claiming that in the first six months of the Vista life cycle fewer serious security vulnerabilities have been found in Microsoft’s newest OS, compared not only to Windows XP, but also all major enterprise Linux distributions and Apple’s MacOS X,” reports TechSpot’s Jose Vilches.
For a sort of rebuttal, I’ll direct you to an article by Robert McMillan. I imagine a few of you will have comments of your own, as well.

Microsoft’s Trustworthy Computing group isn’t exactly an unbiased source.
Still, I hope they’re right. The insecurity of the Windows platform, combined with its huge user-base, is a problem for all of us.
Still, I doubt it’s actually the case.

Later the same day, Microsoft reported that the Zune was outselling the iPod, according to Microsoft’s own numbers.

interesting.
Can he explain how come my vista copy got a spyware in the core system, one that is in such a secure place that the antivirus can’t delete?
Thank god that it’s not the main computer (my macbook pro is)
