Unsubstantiated claims...
"...Mac OS is the most secure
operating system currently in widespread use."

Without a definition of "secure", or a metric to determine what is more or less secure, that statement is nothing more than uninformed opinion. It also ignores the hundreds of millions of devices such as mobile phones running an OS other than Windows, Mac OS or UNIX/Linux that are rarely targeted or compromised.

Various levels and types of security are suitable for different applications, it is not reasonable to expect any OS, or computer in general, to be utterly un-hackable and still useful for a general consumer or business user.
