Reading through OSNews I came across a reference to an article by Wall Street Journal technology columnist Walt Mossberg, where in a discussion about the current plague of viruses, spyware and security problems he gives a glowing recommendation to OS X for it’s stability, and general security, highlighting that due to it’s UNIX base it is more difficult to penetrate, and inherently more secure than Windows. On the subject of windows he says the following:

“Consumers have been forced to devote rising amounts of time and money just to keeping the machines safe (from virus and spyware writers, hackers and sleazy businesses)… The PC has, in many cases, gone from being a solution to being, at least in part, a problem.”

There is a more complete review of the article at Mac Observer, and until 16th December you can read the article itself for free at the Wall Street Journal site.
