"We made it way harder for guys to do exploits," said Mr. Gates. "The number [of exploits] will be way less because we've done some dramatic things [to improve security] in the code base. Apple hasn't done any of those things."

In another portion of the interview, he added, "Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine."

--Boy is he gonna regret saying this a few months from now

Oh come on! There's one everyday! If they posted all those exploits the intertubes would get clogged and run out of space! Trust them they knows what they are talking about! After all, they fixed all the security problems in windows.

Yeah, sorry, i forgot this was Bill Gates we're talking about. He surely knows a thing or two about security.
