Many windows users do not keep windows secure either.I have to fix lots of problems relating to windows at work, if you think people keep them secure they dont. In some cases they lose important work.

Security is imporant, A lot of people depend on their computers and this kind of thing is simply wrong. I would show 110% support to this if they agreed to tell Apple and gave them adquate time to fix them and then released the bugs. Showing people they need to update, but also actually having something they could use to update!

Instead there will be a week or two until we get an update and meanwhile everyone who know how to make software to exploit the mac.
