As with MAC,these vulnies are caused bcoz of its closed source and propreitory approach. |

If anything, it is more secure because the source is not entirely open.

who wants it free?and we dont want apple to open source its codes originally from BSD UNIX.It is the Apple ppl who looted from FreeBSD to make Mac OS X ,thanks to their BSD license ,LOL
ur contradicting here,let MAc fanboyism be controlled
Open SOurce is more stabler with fast patches whether u admit or not.Linux is anytime better and stronger than ur Mac OS X.

Darwin, the core of Apple's Mac OS X, borrows heavily from FreeBSD, including its virtual file system, network stack and components of its userspace. Apple continues to integrate new code from and contribute changes back to FreeBSD. The open source OpenDarwin, originally derived from Apple's codebase but now a separate entity, also includes substantial FreeBSD code. In addition, there are a number of operating systems originally forked from or based on FreeBSD including PC-BSD and DesktopBSD, which include enhancements aimed at home users and workstations;

In early May I posted benchmarks comparing Linux and OS X on a MacBookpro running my R packages (I later added Windows XP benchmarks). In one of the original benchmarks, both Linux and Windows XP were more than twice as fast as OS X. And in a second (more representative) benchmark, Linux was about 20% faster. The benchmarks were posted on Digg and a variety of other high traffic Internet websites such as OSnews. This attention generated a lot of comments and suggestions.
