»Windows: The Most Secure?!

What the F is this all about?! Symantec claims that Microsoft is doing the best job in securing its operating systems. I think they do a good job at releasing patches also, but what about merely creating a secure and stable operating system out of the box? I guess that doesn't count for anything anymore. Though it has been debated that Windows attracts the most attacks because it's the most widely used. Therefore, it needs the most patches. I don't know. What's your perspective?

"The information was a part of Symantec's 11th Internet Security Threat Report. The report, released this week, covered a huge range of security and vulnerability issues over the last six months of 2006, including operating systems. The report found that Microsoft Windows had the fewest number of patches and the shortest average patch development time of the five operating systems it monitored in the last six months of 2006. During this period, 39 vulnerabilities, 12 of which were ranked high priority or severe, were found in Microsoft Windows and the company took an average of 21 days to fix them. It's an increase of the 22 vulnerabilities and 13-day turnaround time for the first half of 2006 but still bested the competition handily."

I think that like many people say, it attracts the most attacks because it is the most secure.

I think it also has good patch support.

I do not feel that security is one of Windows issues at all. I would say the gimped out user options, high system requirements, insane price, and DRM bullshit are the leading contributers to its suckness.

Its not who a person is in the inside, but what he does that defines him.
