No really, not kidding. One thing that many people don't remember, is that due to the number *nix distros that it is secure, to a point. And anyone that really stays up to date with OSX, not just keynotes and Apple's advertisements knows that through native OSX apps and backdoors in the system it is in some ways more open than Windows.
Now of course there is criteria for 'Most Secure"... But something that people need to remember, that it is baffling to security companies why OSX is not hit like Windows when it comes to security threats... As in it is by all means doable for someone to gain root privilage on a OSX machine if they know what their doing, but it just doesn't happen.
My theory - Hackers in many ways are egotistical pricks... Yes, there are circumstances where hacking might be considered a way to get a message across, but if it's Windows, it's at the cost of other people on a large scale... It's a selfish act. If you know how to exploit, then use the time to do some real good. Send the exploit to the company, not to the people's computers.
Anyhow, below you will read Symantec's latest thoughts on security in the OS world. It's surprising. But remember, it's all subjective criteria. If people have no reason to exploit OSX, no matter how open it is, then it is the most secure, because people won't exploit it.
I just had a thought... OSX is the new Switzerland.
