AAPL SUX I will never buy an apple product. Screw those commies. I use Windows 7 and 8.

LOL! Whatever.

I use a cell phone but any smart phone/tablet will be an android

Google is behind Android. Need I remind you that Larry, Sergey, and Eric are all big libs?

Which OS is more secure is really a function of where and how its being used.

For example when used by a knowledgeable and experienced person for individual use or not involving sensitive regulated data then Mac is probably the better choice. Although this bug shows the fundamental weakness of apples approach to security.

In a corporate environment where sensitive or regulated data is in use then windows is the better choice for desktop OS. Mostly because it integrates well into enterprise models which allow for enforcement of security controls.

Security requires more then just an OS which claims to control access to memory space and control of user actions through admin rights.
