It's the time of year again, folks. "The year 2007 has been an interesting year that brought us improved security with Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard (10.5). But to get some perspective of how many publicly known holes found in these two operating systems, I've compiled all the security flaws in Mac OS X and Windows XP and Vista and placed them side by side. This is significant because it shows a trend that can give us a good estimate for how many flaws we can expect to find in the coming months." Do with it as you please.

First of all, I'm an Apple user, and I'm far from rabid - so please do not gross generalisations of a large section of consumers; for me, sure, I own an iPod, a MacBook and AEBS, but nothing else. They were purchased on the basis that it did what I want rather than any sort of slick marketing (considering that Apple's marketing in NZ is almost non-existent).
As for too rabid, I don't know what forums you hang out, but Apple users are persistently the first ones out there to launch a jihad on Apple if there is the slightest flaw in products. I mean, heck, there was a person whining because the sides of the MacBook weren't bevelled enough! there was another complaining that the brightness isn't perfect. If these were regular PC users they would moved on and thing, "oh well, its to be expected".
Oh, and as for your laptop being a lemon - that's a side effect of mass production, there will always been faults - ring up Apple and get it repaired or replaced. Yes they test it, but damage could have occurred during transit. Life moves, and the world continues spinning. Apple isn't immune to the occasional lemon being shipped.
