Windows as secure as OSX? No.
Windows an operating system? No. It has long been simply an "application" which runs over DOS. Even now, Windows XP has to emulate DOS for it to work.

Windows is not an OS, it never will be.
It's  just a poor DOS program plagued with flaws, bugs and security holes which after bad negotiation has a prescence in many homes.
Sad, very sad.
Religion is for people who believe in hell.
Spirituality is for people who have been there.

Getting back to the topic, simply this: If you use Windows and IE sooner or later yo will get a virus or trojan and get hacked or your sysem will get screwed up. I have yet to come accross anything in OSX that even comes close to the scary stuff I see in Windows boxes. I cant remember the last time I got a real virus in any MacOS or AmigaOS system I have. The only ones I do see are from email and are Windows versions.


Agreed 100%.
So the simple answer to the subject of this thread, is No.
