Whether you think OSX is more secure or just less likely to be hacked,
it does have a security advantage.

That's a lie. ;^)
Advertising is built on the same sandy foundation as political
blathering. Shady logic and exaggeration. Caveat emptor.

Your call.

Apple puts out a paid upgrade every 18 months or so. The cost is about
$100 if you shop around. I'm not complaining that they upgrade the
software, and for a reasonable price. In between all updates are free.
I don't think Microsoft's record is better in this area.
