Stats show that Windows security is getting stronger

Windows is often referred to as the most insecure operating system in the world, pretty much because it's targeted by the majority of malware infections out there, but as far as security vulnerabilities are concerned, Microsoft's platform is no longer number one.

Statistics provided by GFI show that Windows security is getting stronger, so the leading place in the chart called “Top operating systems by vulnerabilities reported in 2014” goes to Apple's Mac OS X. A total of 147 vulnerabilities were found on OS X, 64 of which were rated as “high.”

The runner-up is another Apple platform, this time iOS, with 127 security glitches, while the third place goes to none other than the Linux Kernel with 119 flaws.
