Whoopie. That's one.

Meanwhile, hackers have been exploiting serious bugs in Windows for
decades.

That's because Windoze is simply one massive piece of malware.

Windows sucks but Microsoft doesn't advertise they're safer than macOS.

Apple does. Worse people like you BELIEVE whatever Apple tells you in ads.

When Apple has these massive security holes it proves the ads are all lies.

It proves everything you believe in - from Apple - is an advertising lie.

Really?

Show me such an advertisement.

No. One thing can be MORE safe than another without being completely safe.

It proves everything you believe in - from Apple - is an advertising lie.

Safer doesn't mean perfect -- nothing is.

Apple does.

And, given that macOS *is* safer than Windows, they're right to do so.

Any program coded by a five year old is safer than Windoze!
