Just more proof that Microsoft and PCs are so inferior to Apple computers and their totally integrated and STABLE OS. I love how PC users who've never even touched an Apple computer try to dis the company, but put up with such a crapy unstable OS on the PC side. How many times do PCs lock up? How many different virus software and security software updates do you have to download in a typical year? How slow does it take to boot up and shut down your computer (and does that time expand with every month that passes)? Well if you own an Apple, the answers to those questions are NONE. I really think PC users and Microsoft supporters are just like Republicans. Good at spin, and nothing else.

Yeah, kudos for MS for finally doing something right.

Of course, lets wait an see if they did it right.

And for the morons, if you do not understand the difference between a vulnerability and an exploit you have no right to chime in.

Windows is the most exploited OS for one simple reason: it is the easiest. It is so easy a 12 year old that knows nothing of computers can do it.
