Counterpoint

To balance the Linux article I linked to a few posts back, here is an snippet from the back page of the latest MacWorld:

London-based mi2g recently released a report that says Mac OS X and BSD Unix are the "world's safest and most secure 24-7 online computing environments." Linux offers the worst track record, the report says, with Windows coming in second. While tested Linux systems accounted for more than 65 percent of successful break-ins, OS X- and BSD-based computer break-in attempts were successful less than 5 percent of the time.
