The great majority of people do not want to change from the O/S that
they're familiar with. Companies buy Windows machines because that's
what they've always used. IBM got the companies started with Microsoft,
and when the employees bought a computer for themselves, they chose
Microsoft O/S, because that's what they were familiar with.
Independent developers developed their specialty software for the
vast majority of companies that had bought into Microsoft. Computer
companies made cheap hardware to accommodate Microsoft O/S.
My boss bought Apple. I familiarized myself with Linux in the Nineties,
but when OS X came out, why bother with Linux?
iPhones brought Apple to the masses. A percentage of the masses are
seeing the benefits of Apple products. That's good.
I like that Windows is the O/S of most companies and the majority of
ordinary users. Malware keys on them, because that's where the money is.
To each, their own.
Malware keys on them

All you Apple nutjobs are living in the past from very long ago.
It used to be iOS had fewer zero-day holes than Android, and even fewer exploits in the wild (which Apple never admits but the government publishes them so you have to be living more than five years in the past to NOT know that iOS always has twice the number of zero-days as Android, and lately
iOS has had three times the number of zero-days as Android).
*But what's worse are the exploits.*
*Oh... those Apple exploits!*
iOS has had _ten times_ more exploits in the wild for four years running!

None of you Apple nutjobs know the figures from today because you're all living in the past - but worse - you don't even know _why_ this happened.
None of you Apple nutjobs understands what's _different_ about iOS that
it's not only filled with holes like Swiss Cheese (mostly webkit & the kernel to give you an idea of where the problems are) but also none of you nutjobs understand why iOS is exploited over ten times more than Android.
Think before you respond - and don't respond without looking it up first.

Let me guess… Apple doesn’t test their stuff.
That’s what Arlen has been saying forever.
