Yes. According to this report, Windows 7 is nearly 5 times more secure.

Thought this was funny. This guy, who is on the front page of Microsoft's Security Intelligence Report, is using a Mac.

Lol, Apple pays people to use their products in these things. That's why they're ALWAYS seen in movies and junk.

[Fiodis]

Of course he's using a Mac in an illustration for a Microsoft article talking about evil hackers doing dangerous things.

As far as I can tell, that's a stock photo used on a Microsoft website. Apple didn't pay to get itself onto the Microsoft website via stock image.

[Marth8880]

Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm more explicitly talking about in movies, but whatever, shameless promotion, right? Maybe...

[Eggman]

Kind of like every single other instance of product placement ever. It's called advertising. That's just good business. Businesses don't exist to be feel-good, honest role models. They exist to make money.

But of course. I think Marth is simply pointing out that Macs appear in TV shows, movies and other such media a lot more than PCs, despite the fact PCs are more popular(fact not opinion). Also, Apple does spend a crapload on advertising, which is part of the reason they cost so much.
