   Personal apologies for double-posting about this news alert. I note the   
   earlier posting 'OS X the "Most Secure" platform according to Mi2G."   
      
   I also have to note utter laughter at the arguments against this   
   article. They have no basis. Can anyone pretend that Windows security   
   has any comparison to that in Mac OS X? I was shocked to find how poor   
   the security was found to be on Linux systems, and would like to see a   
   competing study. But like it or not this mi2g report is useful and great   
   information for anyone who is SERIOUS (versus warz mongering) about   
   security.   
      
   BTW: I run a three year old, 600 users, 24/7 FTP server on Mac OS X   
   Server over the Internet with no breaches ever. :)
