For those of you not familiar, three OSs went head to head in a hacking
contest: Mac, Vista, Ubuntu. I'm summarizing for brevity, so for details see
the link.
Day 1: No OS was breached
Day 2 (OS was allowed to access websites and e-mail): Mac was breached in 2
minutes
Day 3 (Third party apps were installed): Vista was breached because of Adobe
Flash.
The Ubuntu was never breached, but don't be too quick to judge. Vista was
"as secure" until the third party app. Anyone who subscribes to Secunia knows
this is true for most platforms.

DISCLAIMER: I haven't been in this group for awhile because of the "low
bandwidth high noise", so I didn't search to see if this information was
already posted. I doubt I'll check back for responses, but my e-mail is valid
if you have comments for me.
