This is what is known as an ad hominem attack. Instead of focusing on
the merits, he attacks the people who own Macs. He even attacks people
who own iPods. There is no tech in this issue of ExtremeTech. What
does this accomplish?

8, vista was not on market in the first month. So in total they were in
market for 7 months together. Have no idea where you got 2 months from,
mike,
You have some good points. I went back and did some research. I will start
with my own summary and add some references at the end.
1. At CanSecWest, they started with a MacBook connected to an open Wi-Fi
network, but nobody could get through. Nothing was done to the MacBook but
install
Well that clears that up.

How did he say
Not true. From Cnet.
The successful attack on the second and final day of the contest required a
conference organizer to surf to a malicious Web site using Safari on the
MacBook--a type of attack familiar to Windows users.
Nothing was downloaded to the machine and run, indeed this exact attack
ATX and BTX were both designed by Tom's now loved Intel. BTX was also
canceled by Intel because the need for it was slowing with Intel developing
lower power CPUs. Intel simply hasn't put anything behind it's development
or marketing, so no, it has nothing to do with your conspiracy theory that

I have noticed that their new BTX format is not quite catching on in
the market. Is it going to go the way of IBM's MCA format?
Will PC makers contiune to cling to a 10-year-old ATX MoBo design? I will
place my bet on lack of innovation. That seems to be endemic in Windows
land.
Reread Mike's post. Read the last sentence most carefully. Then ask
yourself, during what part of the same time period was Vista in the
marketplace?
Apple OS X; 10 months; 7 flaws
MS Vista; 2 months; 6 flaws
Most of you will be able to do the math.

I don't know if that is the single biggest security flaw, but it is
certainly in the top ten.

Apple fans have an attitude where, when Apple does something bad, it's
okay, or at least understandable. When other companies, especially
arch-rival Microsoft, does the same exact thing, it's a travesty and
obviously clear evidence of why
Your simple math would get you one of those sub-prime mortgages. I know
many people buying Macs, but very few of them plan to run Windows.
Those who do run Windows only run it for some precious Windows only
application.

Could be I suppose. EFI was Intel's baby, don't think it had much to do
with apple but like apple often does, it implemented the improved technology

How do you plan on moving your MP3s to your clock radio?
We have a couple of flash-based RCA MP3 players that mount on the
desktop of our Macs where we drag and drop MP3 files. It plays without
any extra software. A free Rosewill MP3 player using SD card memory
loads the same way. Unless

How did he say apple was pushing them? Pushing them to do what?
Windows has traditionally had bolted-on security that is easily weakened
by the user. That results in many vulnerable computers that are
basically there for the taking. Mac OS X has the benefits of security
designed in at all levels (from freeBSD). These people are evil, but
not stupid.
