Seriously, count how many times the article says "server". Then count how many times it says "desktop". What am I saying? I'm saying that I ought to drop a 40-lb. Unix manual on your head - several times - until some sense is knocked into you. That, of course, is just one very simple example. Did you not read any part of the article that said “server”?

That you believe OS X is no more secure than other OS'es? It's a sad commentary on security when I try to open a web page that contains Active-X, and Windows warns me that it could hose my computer, even though Active-X is their own proprietary code. On the other hand, OS X doesn't allow that kind of crap. That, of course, is just one very simple example. What the hell are you trying to say?
