[quote:Anonymous Coward 68002504:MV8yODAxMjYzXzdDMDVGNjMx] The Lenovo-Superfish fiasco might have some contemplating an OS switch, but the grass isn't greener on the other side—at least not according to GFI. The security firm has published a report ranking last year's most vulnerable OSes and applications, and guess what? OS X, iOS, and Linux made the top of the list. Take a look: Windows 7 is a distant fifth, with four times fewer total vulnerabilities than OS X. Windows 8.1 is neck and neck with Windows 7 in terms of total vulnerabilities, but it suffered from fewer "high" vulnerabilities, knocking it down to eighth place. Not bad.
