,----[ Quote ]
| The six issues that Computerworld described as enterprise security flaws in
| Mac OS X amount to little more than shibboleths, according to John

| Vista is more susceptible to malware than the eight year old Windows 2000
| operating system, and only 37 per cent more secure than Windows XP," said
| Simon Clausen, chief exec at PC Tools.
