    "Secure" doesn't matter. Risk does.

  2. So, would it be better if the questions was: it is easier to mitigate virus/tojan risks with an Apple MAC than a PC?

  3. That would be one useful question to be used as prior information.

    Others Might Be:

    What is the expected frequency of malware attacks (successful, non-successful) for each platform?

    What level of skills / resources would an attacker have to have (framed in the context of a Gaussian distribution that represents the population of "attackers") to overcome the average OS configuration?

    What is the quality of the code used?

    etc...

    etc...

  4. I wonder if the ordinary bloke really understands?
