I did a quick search in the National Vulnerability Database on the number of vulnerabilities in Mac OSX and Windows XP. There was an interesting result. For the first time that I am aware of Max OSX had more High rated vulnerabilities than Windows XP. There were 28 Highs for OSX and 23 Highs for Windows XP. If you combine Highs and Medium rated vulnerabilities there were 63 for Mac OSX and 34 for Windows XP. I guess the argument that Mac is more secure than Windows just doesn`t float anymore, there are to many holes in it.
