Thread: Vista/7 more secure than Linux and Mac OS X

Quote: Originally Posted by juba How much can you do with the Kernel itself? That's not the point. We're talking about security here. I'm pretty positive anyone trying to exploit the kernel via other apps would have a hellish experience. Windows boxes on the other hand can get pwned easily because of a single properly executed exploit via almost any app (especially M$ ones). Just take a look at the bugtraq mailing list. Problem...

when i see conficker infecting my ubuntu install i'll agree

i think windows would have being the safest OS if when you take a look at the security features which it has........ the problem is, people have little or no interests in Leopard or Linux, which i think has less security feautres but not under attack, hence windows maybe the most secure OS, but its also the most attacked which is why we have a problem with the article........ so if u should compare them windows would come out on top in terms...
