In April alone Apple released a dozen security patches that could allow arbitrary code to be run. Each one of these a possible exploit of the type that was used at CanSecWest. Right now is it 'safer' to run mac os then windows? Sure. But I think the reason why that is so is misunderstood by most mac users. The spread of this misinformation doesn't do anyone any good. It's become a knee jerk reaction from mac users when talked to about security to just recite the mantra 'we are more secure'. All I hope for is
a little intellectual honesty about the topic and less kool-aid.
