Ew, Mac users are now 'bigots' -- I thought you were calling us 'morons' and 'bozos' earlier. Got anymore personal insults up your sleeves?

Sure, try 'sycophantic', 'closed-minded', 'ego-challenged', 'deluded', and '', for starters. Mac OS X bugs aren't swept under the carpet. They are fixed.

LMFAO! A few minutes ago, Windows was a buggy POS. Now, we see that Mac OSX is a buggy POS, as well. Point well taken.

As evidensed by your post of a total of one Apple Web Page of bugs. One page. That's the shortest bug list I know of in the OS industry.

Whooo, boy. How many vulnerabilities does a hacker need to root your box and/or steal your data? Oh, but wait! Apple's only got a page of 'em... Like distinctions of those kind make any difference when critical flaws exist.

Where are those supposive posts where I say that, "Outlook is a part of the Windows kernel"?

I'm still waiting for you to point out how Windows is flawed. So far, I haven't seen any exploits of the Windows kernel. All that we see are bugs in IIS, Outlook, etc, which aren't even part of Windows.

According to your previous post, you seem to think adding an option in a System Prefences window is a bug. I guess by your definition, Mac OS X is a buggy POS because there are tons of options available to the user. My favorite "bug" is the "Text to Speech" option built into Mac OS X. When I highlight your text and hit a keystroke, a hysterical voice reads out your replies over my Sound Sticks.

This is fun. Even Microsoft is saying Windows isn't built with security in mind (both past and present tense) and you won't believe them! And you call me a zealot. Too Rich! I seem to have no problem using other OS's for my needs, I just prefer Mac OS X as my desktop. Closed minded? Sounds like you are stuck on one company not me. UNIX means portability. If GNU/Linux (Unix-like) starts to kick Apple's butt on the desktop, all the software I write and files will work on x86, DEC Alpha, PPC or Power4 distros. Just like all the software I use on GNU/Linux, xBSD and Tru64 will compile on my Mac OS X boxes. C is a wonderful thing.

Can you give me an example of a rooted Mac OS X box? I bet you can find an example of a rooted Windows box. No one in this forum has said that Mac OS X was perfect, just incredibly less prone to the security problems of the Windows operating system. Microsoft has come out and said its not market share that is their problem, its their OS design--what I have and others have said time and time again in the past. So the tired old market share argument is out the window from Valentine's comments.

One page? That's it? And you saying they are all fixed automatically when the user logged on to the internet? They were listed for public review without legal action? Damn! Apple sure does sound like they are crumbling under the weight of their insecurity.
