As for Mac, most of the problems reported have been with applications of course. Mail.app is evil? Looks like bait... Kiggs never ever got me to rise, you won't either :)

I understand M$ is poised to released a major SP release, SP2, for all their
eXPloder users. It's mentioned it may disrupt many of the vendors that build
their stuff on M$ e.g. Symantec, e.t.c.
But anyway, I digress.
Those in the know repeatedly advised a move to Firefox, and after a short informal review, one is am almost in love!
Firefox and Mozilla are great. But then again, some may also think Opera is
wild too. The more paranoid may prefer w3m or Lynx.
I have bad feelings about Konqueror.
I use Mozilla.
I will not compare it to Safari, because that one has grown on me more
than just somewhat, but I'll say--bugs notwithstanding--it is a pity so
many people were still using IE. Consider:
I don't think the problem is that IE is very buggy (which it is), but that
it's perverse. Mozilla and Firefox are well designed, but then make it the
sole browser out there, and the creators will have a lot more work on their
hands.
- Safari-esque google window top right. (With history)
Not to bad mouth the fruit-eaters here, but how secure is the Mac OS software
(note I am asking about the Mac OS software itself, not the *BSD it runs on).
Mail.app, Helper.app, Finder.app, Safari and all that. How many
vulnerabilities found on Mac OS are based on *BSD problems, and how many are
based on the core Mac OS code?
I must say, while eccentric and definitely exotic, I find Mail.app et al a tad
bit evil.
Mark.
