Is Windows inherently more vulnerable to malware attacks than OS X?

| So, after all this, do I have enough to judge Windows inherently
| more vulnerable to severe malware than OS X? I do.

| I've been writing about these shortcomings for years, and it always
| traces back to Microsoft's untenable policy of maintaining gaps in
| Windows security to avoid competing with 3rd party vendors and
| certified partners. Apple's taking a different approach: What users
| need is in the box: Anti-virus, anti-spam, encryption, image backup
| and restore, offsite safe storage through .Mac, and launchd. Pretty
| soon any debate with Microsoft over security can be ended in one round
| when Apple stands up, says "launchd," and sits back down.
