Actually if you keep up with the tech sites like Vizzy and I do, you'll see Mac OSX security exploits about every 3 months. Then it takes them a month to 6 weeks to patch it, and a month to 6 weeks for something new to be found. Hence the 3 month usual cycle. But it doesn't get PRESS like the Windows does.
And I will give Apple credit for how quickly they patch, they do have a leg up on M$ there...
Of course, many of those patches don't originate with Apple themselves, they originate with teams of developers who maintain the packages for UNIX itself. Which is still fine.
But, why you'd be offended is because the iPad uses a very slimmed down MacOS... and mostly because I complained about you choosing your fancy looking iMac over a Linux PC that would do essentially the same thing (yeah, I know, repeating complaints already aired) though this time I did grant the fact that for your graphics work it really is the best machine you could own. So... not as bad as I was about it before
