Scary! Did chimps code OS X?
Let's take them one by one:
"Apple OS X 10.4.5 .tiff "LZWDecodeVector ()" Heap Overflow"
His own links says:
"Solution:
This issue was silently fixed by Apple in update 10.4.6.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303411";

IOW, fixed; a non-issue.
Actually you are incorrect. It is an issue to those who don't upgrade
to get the fix.
Which is a strawmans argument.
Oh then I'm sure you never said anything about a Windows virus or
exploit that had a fix.
I've always updated OS X.
It's not about you alone, it's about everyone with OS X. Some folk
don't upgrade. Some folk don't even have their computers on a 24/7
connection. In fact the average computers don't pay attention to protecting
their computers that's why most are sold today with protection turned on and
anti-exploit software running.
No problemos.
This is most likely a lie or you haven't had your computer very long.
Just wait.
The WinXP area is when you do an upgrade things important break, like M$
word.
No they haven't broken for me. Where did you hear they broke for me? I
don't think you even know what I look like.
That's why people don't instantly update XP... they wait... and get
something else instead.
Automatic upgrades should be turned on for the personal computer. For
business computers they need a tech staff to test out software for the
upgrade. If the tech staff is good they will know how to protect the
computer without an upgrade. However they will want to eventually put the
upgrade in. Apparently they aren't getting something else because the
Windows base doesn't seem to be shrinking much.
Why that happened to Windows 2000 users a while back. However the
Mackooks didn't blame the people who didn't upgrade, they heaped the
entire blame on Windows itself.
When are you guys going to give up on this malware hype that really
doesn't do much to a system?
Guffaw!!! Yet another strawmans argument. Too many XP users DO Get
malware by the megabytes that slows their PCs down to a molasses drip in
January.
Many can mean 500,000 out of one billion. Sure malware is a problem and
it will be a problem for any popular OS. Just wait. You'll understand one
day. Unix users learned the hard way, I guess Mac users will have to do that
too.
