In Terms of security I’d agree windows is more secure, does anybody know is windows 7 is any more secure. Also more people have P.C’s rather then Macs because of there price, therefore why would you want to exploit or make a hack for a Mac?

mckt,

“same kinds of bugs pop up on all platforms, but on Windows it is a pain to write exploits for.”

because of the added security of vista that is (aslr, non exec heap etc.) .
Macs suck on the level of exploit mitigation technologies.

[...] According to one hacker, not only is Windows safer than a Mac, but Chrome is the safest browser too. [...]

It’s worth noting that he didn’t really say windows is more secure. He said that roughly the same kinds of bugs pop up on all platforms, but on Windows it is a pain to write exploits for. For what it’s worth, it’s also a lot more difficult to write any app for Windows.
