Safer, more secure, what's the practical difference here? I'm tired of the implication that OS X is inherently more secure. I have yet to see anything to indicate that is true, especially when considering the, albeit still slow, growth of malware in OS X as market share has increased.
Honestly, for a user that is not using Internet Explorer, I can't imagine a workflow nearly as dangerous as is possible with Safari. It's not hard to be safe in Windows these days.
This is the second time now you've "refuted" the argument that OS X is "more secure", which is interesting because nobody made that argument
A Food & Liquor on Chicago's West Side is more secure than a 7-11 in suburban Kennilworth. You have to pass your money through a little slot in a bulletproof glass window!
The 7-11 is safer. Nobody ever sticks it up.
This is not a complicated point.
I'm glad you're happy with Windows security. I'm pretty impressed with it too. But I'm biased, having worked with them professionally on it in the past.
