Is Windows inherently more vulnerable to malware attacks than OS X?

[M A V I C]

[quote ztirffritz]The biggest problem with Windows is that they put backwards compatibility ahead of everything else. I have not doubt that if they put all of their software engineers into a room and said fix Windows...no holds barred...they could do it in short order. But their hands are tied by the backwards compatibility issue.
No, they put release dates as per marketing above all else. I would say they put compatibility about half way down the list. They often break stuff with with their own patches, let alone major releases.
