“That canard of “Security by Obscurity” has little to do with it, Sun. Apple will soon top 60,000,000 OS X systems in the wild. What exactly is the number of systems—99% of which are running bare naked to the Internet, not protected in any way except for a built-in Trojan horse identifier”

We’ve already seen Apple admit that certain vulnerabilities will allow a hacker to run any code they want on certain OS versions. That was announced in an Apple notification.

100,000 new malware signatures are created every single day mostly targeted at Windows systems. Apple makes up less than 5% of the desktop market. We’ve already seen some new malware targeted at Apple.

But perhaps you missed the thread that OS fights weren’t acceptable on FR anymore. So why are you doing it?

I'm not. Discussions of software and hardware are permitted. Flames and personal attacks, as you did in your first reference to me in this thread, are not.
