Indeed. But the basic system security is equally "better" presently
and any holes are promptly fixed. Connect a Windows PC or a OS X Mac
to the net and turn the firewall off. I can guarantee the PC will
get knackered first. Even with the firewall on (built in versions at
least) the PC is more exploitable.
I'm afraid most of what one has available to read about computers is
rewritten press releases and not actual reporting that was the
result of
investigation by decently paid, knowledgeable reporters. The computer
"press" is a world of exotic press junkets, free hardware and free
software
that has often been populated by folks who've made and lost
millions playing
the NASDAQ.
Oh indeed. I was active in that marketplace and industry and also
despised of many so-called professionals and their behaviour. I
tended to swim against the tide though :)
