Announcing the Windows Bounty Program

I've come to feel that a Windows 10 machine is more secure than an OSX machine, all else being equal.

That's interesting. Care to elaborate?

IIRC articles have been posted on HN about this but I don't recall what they were exactly. Also not sure how accurate this [1] is and if it reflects actual security/breaches/... per user, but it does give an indication the OP's feeling might be correct, seeing statements like In 2015, according to the NVD, OSX had the most vulnerabilities, followed by Windows 2012 and Ubuntu Linux. And here [2] it's also at the top and Windows 10 is mentioned as well, but it was quite young then. Similar in 2016 [3]

False sense on security (on MacOS)
