your opinion which means less to me than anything Daniel writes on his site. Tell me how that "security contest" has any real world application other than FUD and impress us all with your knowledge.
whatever, tell people not to look at fact, rather than speculating the "politics" behind it, is, ridiculous, "Dan" is a obvious apple fanboy, every post he wrote, every comparison he made, all disregard the favorable data/facts of opponent,
not attack vista because MS give money to the contest? why not "not attack vista because he can do it faster on MBA?(as hacker himself said so, is "Dan" accusing the hacker lying?)" which is more reasonable? M$ gonna kidnap him, deny him reward? or what? not to mention "M$ sponser" is only a rumor.
Apple sponsers (maybe write itself) the revised iBench to test its safari to be "fastest browser alive", is Dan or you gonna take it as a joke as well?
maybe what he said means alot to you, but what he said means little to the truth.
To me, exposed means that if I am browsing with Safari there is a chance, however small, that I will run into trouble from an exploit. This is not the case right now on OSX.
I do understand your point, however, what you said is a situation that is very difficult to judge, for windows Vista, under your definition, how many ppl are at risk? nobody knows! Hackers won't tell you when they decide to exploit your computer, as long as the security hole is out in the wild, they can do it. And thats a "risk".
Its not about individuals, its about how we can fairly look at the security of OSes at a large scale.
EDIT, UPDATE:
Vista is compromised through Adobe Flash security hole on 3rd day (after the 3rd party app is allowed)!
Ubuntu is the final one standing.
