Microsoft vs. Apple (again)
June 3rd, 2008
One of my favorite topics. Does not necessarily mean that Microsoft is more secure than Apple, but provides a counter argument to all those security hobbyists who are ready to take sides. Comparing ‘security’ of Microsoft applications against ‘security’ of Apple is just like comparing apples and oranges.
A research by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology compared zero-day patch rate of the two. The bottom line - Apple is behind Microsoft when it comes to patching software.
The findings were presented at BlackHat Europe 2008 and are available in PDF, PPT, and HTML.
