OSX Security Updates

How many time have you talked with a Mac Lover over the argument that Macs are totally hackpoof and far more secure than Windows? I have nothing against Macs, in fact I may get one when OSX Leopard is released, but people please open your eyes. A Mac may be more secure than a PC, but being totally hackproof, having no-exploits, worms etc, that totally another matter.

Over the last week, Apple release 31 security updates with several other security still left unaddressed. Like windows, if you search the web, you can find many Mac exploits. However the difference between these vulnerbilities and Windows flaws is that they are all patched and no longer remain a threat until now with the above security holes. And don't forget, with the introduction of Boot Camp and dual booting Windows-OSX, Macs inheritted all the virus that plagues Windows.

I guess in the end, it all comes down to how you would like to be infected with a virus?

    I don't update all of them, in fact mostly just this one and sometimes the customtemplate one. The rest are all stagnant for my templates, nothing new on them at all :D
