I'm not sure that OS X is just more secure by obscurity. Yes, during the hacker conferences, Macs get pwned but if life were really that simple for most hackers, nobody would be on the internet or exchanging files. Consider for example the recently "discovered" "God" mode on Windows 7, and the sad part is that a Microsoft spokes-individual actually admitted that there were more. Those are all security holes if not implemented properly. I can't think of a comparable problem on Macs and Linux & BSDs both are constantly upgrading because of security risks, but the only god mode for them is a silly admin. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10423985-56.html?tag=mncol;txt ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
