"Most other OS's recieve security information from both the user and developer sides of the community. It has become clear from the BSD platforms that Open Source software can be better than closed source software in the security world, as with more developers reading the code, more errors are spotted more often. Like MS, Apple loose out on this luxury. "

This is a rather silly argument, since much of OSX is based on BSD. I would think, therefore, that they don't "loose [sic] out on this luxury", at least not entirely.
