Apple vs Microsoft as a malware target.. stop saying market share..

The report offers a critical analysis of Mac vs. Windows security, arguing that vulnerability counts are misleading, OS X Leopard trails Windows in memory corruption mitigations (e.g., full ASLR, non-executable stack/heap), and Macs’ lower malware impact reflects developer ecosystem size and user culture more than raw market share. It notes Macs are still susceptible to email-borne malware like ILOVEYOU in principle and urges Apple to strengthen mitigations, framing Snow Leopard as a potential “XP SP2” moment to preempt large-scale attacks.
