That's true, MS should get things done ASAP...but that wasn't where this was going. We were talking about if it's MS's fault they are attacked more than their competitors? Does increased market share mean increased responsibility? Perhaps it does, I don't know. What I know is, OS X is no more secure than windows is...that's just a fact outed by several security firms who do this for a living. Does that mean in the real world you are no more safer running OS X? Of course not, it is safer out in the real world because no one goes after it...but again that's not what this was about.
