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

[quote rz]what, elmo hasn't chimed in yet to spew his anti-Apple, pro-Windows venom? I'm shocked.
Actually, I was going to post a one word answer at the bottom.

But I'll take the opportunity now:

yes.

[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.

I have been pointing folks here (and elswhere) to the occasional "Enterprise Mac" article for the last 2 years or so.

Most folks can't seem to be bothered taking the time to read them...
