Your conclusion doesn't follow.
Why then are there more succesful attacks on Windows based servers? Why aren't attacks successful on Apache based servers since there are way more? Shouldn't Apache servers get hit way more than Windows boxes?
This thread was not supposed to be about Windows vs Mac. If you want to make it that way you gotta come with more than "you can do all that and MORE".

well i don't use servers so i can't comment on Apache, but Windows Server is still based on the same source as the consumer OS so wouldn't it stand to reason that it can be vulnerable to the same types of exploits? (which is still a knock against Microsoft, don't get me wrong. i'm not trying to say they are the perfect company and Windows is flawless). my argument is against Apple, who started the whole "Mac vs. Windows" argument. there are already vunlerabilites and exploits in OSX, so if you magnified the user base to the level that Windows is at i bet there wouldn't be that big of a difference. and i've personally seen Macs freeze and crash from the same types of issues that can affect a Windows PC
i'm NOT trying to make this a windows/mac debate, i'm just saying how much i hate those ads because of the extremely misleading info they give
