In total agreement of over zealous reporting

Mac's have always had a great reputation for minmal exploits to the OS. Zdnet should be careful in how their reporting is placed into media without really checking through the facts of the flaws, that are released from Cert & other reporting agencies of computer flaws ... etc

Mircosoft will have the biggest share of flaws because it is the most widely used, if Macs was the most widely used it would be probably the most vulnerable OS.

The model between the two OS'es are totally different, so it's like comparing apples & oranges..

I would like it if Zdnet would take a more balanced way of reporting flaws in computer systems & not use headlines to cause extreme concern, when there is not that type of concern to the general computer user.
