Doesn't surprise me.
Apple's clever advertising succeeded in creating a false sense of security for all their users & when you get feed the same BS every day, you start believing it.

From the article...
"I'm not sure I'd personally promote the notion that Windows is "more secure" than OS X, but I am arguing that they're within shouting distance of each other and are certainly comparable from a security standpoint. Of course, for Mac users, that's probably an affront to every notion they hold dear. Hopefully, their comeuppance won't be as painful as the one PC users faced almost a decade ago."
The article title is as misleading as the claimed "misleading" information from apple. In his closing statement the author himself balks from calling windows more secure. Thread/article fail.

Whatever. As in life, you need to practise safe computing.

Lol, wouldn't that be like comparing leaving an expensive car parked in Hillbrow with the keys in the ignition, to the Robocop-type car that warns you, then electrocutes you and pushes you out the door, if you try to steal it?
