"While Microsoft has the lion's share of security problems--and the
Mac OS X hardly any-- "
Substitute "Hardly any" with NONE
"Apple has made good decisions regarding the Mac OS X architecture and

Substitute "far fewer" with NONE
"There is no ActiveX in Safari and there is no ActiveX equivalent.

The reality is that security work does comes from a trial by fire," he
said. "And Apple really has not had that experience. It had not had
the experience from some 20 years that Unix had and that Linux has
absorbed. It has not had the experience that Microsoft had with its
summer of worms.
And how much has Microsoft learned from all the years of virus and
other malware? To make a decent OS? No!
There will probably be virus or other malware in the future. Human
ingenuity - even the twisted malicious kind - is limitless. This is the
Arms Race all over again. But currently we are all safer with Apple's
way of thinking and doing than with anything else
