It’s the applications, stupid

A hacking contest pitted fully patched versions of Windows versus Mac OS X and Ubuntu Linux. The Mac was felled in two minutes using a Safari exploit by professional Mac hacker Charlie Miller to gain a $10,000 prize. No one claimed the prize for remote exploit hacking, and that’s a good thing. Remote attacks, where the end-user is not involved at all, are becoming almost a rarity.
