OS X doesn't need weekly updates like M$.
That's bull. MS posts updates frequently, and very few of the "critical updates" are that critical to your system. My copy of Win2k has run flawlessly without any updates since I installed it August.[/quote]

Is the Hubbard guy from ???BSD a bad coder?
That the Mach Kernel is poorly coded?
Did I say they were? NO. That's irreleveant.

So my question ... which is better BSD or windows? which has less bugs? which has less security concerns?
Personally, I like Windows.... but I haven't had significant experience with BSD to form an valid opinion. I do know that far too many people are obsessed with picking MS software appart to exploit every bug, so naturally, more people are concerned with MS than any other OS.

Philip, I don't see your point. It sat for 10 years harmless ... right ... so sue em from the time it should have been fixed. (ie .... first exploitment + 1-2 weeks).
That's exactly the reponse I was looking fore. To me, that reads "Throw the book at MS but slap Apple's hand if there's an issue because MS has a bad rap and Apple doesn't.". Why is that? More people obsess with exploiting MS than Apple, so naturally, even if both companies have the exact same security issues, it will take longer to find in Apple.. That does not make Apple any better than MS. Under a "gaurenteed security in software" law, both companies should recieve equal punishment, unless the company knowingly does not make adequate steps to correct the problem in subsequent releases of their software...
If it makes you happy, my next pc will be a mac.
