Well apparently he&#8217;s going out the way to prove me right. In a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/16934083\/site\/newsweek\/page\/2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent interview with Newsweek <\/a>Gates makes the following astounding comment:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I suppose he is trying to twist the pathetic &#8220;Month of Apple Bugs&#8221; and equate it to a total exploit every day.  The MOAB only had one vulnerability that could even remotely be called a &#8220;total exploit&#8221;.  <\/p>\n<p>This guy has truly gone off the deep end. In addition, in Gates&#8217; bizzaro world now it was Apple who copied Vista features into OSX.  OSX just got it to market faster since Microsoft was busy &#8220;securing&#8221; their OS.  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You can go through and look at who showed any of these things first, if you care about the facts. If you just want to say, &#8220;Steve Jobs invented the world, and then the rest of us came along,&#8221; that&#8217;s fine. If you\u2019re interested, [Vista development chief] Jim Allchin will be glad to educate you feature by feature what the truth is. I mean, it\u2019s fascinating, maybe we shouldn&#8217;t have showed so publicly the stuff we were doing, because we knew how long the new security base was going to take us to get done.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sheesh.  How do tech writers let Microsoft get away with statements like that?  It is just shameful.
