Response to: Does Security Matter?
I read this article by the United Kingdom mi2g Intelligence Unit that reveals after a 12 months study the world's safest and most secure 24/7 online computing environment... BSD (Berkley Software Distribution) and the Mac OS X. "... most breached Operating System for online systems has now become Windows (57.74%) followed by Linux (31.76%)... BSD and Mac OS X together (1.74%)." http://www.mi2g.com/cgi/mi2g/press/021104.php Alarming to say the least. No OS is 100% secure, but some are better then others. This is what Mac addicts have then saying for years.

  "Intelligence Unit" mi2g? Their studies are more like wild guesses, lies and hyping. For more on mi2g:

  Don't believe everything that self-proclaimed experts say, unless they can actually back up their claims. BTW, I use and love both OS X and Linux.
