"The OS is everything." It seems that you didn't even read this article before you hit the submit button. The OS is not everything when it comes to securing a machine. An Operating System can be secure but software running under said OS can cause security issues if it has holes and/or vulnerabilities which was a main point of the post from what I can tell. What I got from this post was even Macs have security issues because of flaws in third party software. That was a whole lot of running around in a circle without really making a point Dylan.

Therefore, the level of maximum security is tied to the OS's design. The OS is everything.

I'm with you. My laptop is also secure and not because of the OS per se, it's how things are set up and how it's running. My post is directed to a lot of people who are always saying that Mac's don't have issues with security or virus's. Next up, Mac's are also PC's... yes folks, a Mac is a Personal Computer just like a Windows based machine :) Hey RT.

It has everything to do with how I use it.
