Apple Lags behind Microsoft
What is it “Apple lags behind Microsoft” ya its true. Companies like Google, Apple and other online vendors creates a hype that what ever Microsoft will do will harm you. I found some very interesting facts about both Microsoft and Apple computer.Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology looked at how many times over the past six years the two vendors were able to have a patch available on the day a vulnerability became publicly known, which they call the 0-day patch rate they analyzed 658 vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft products and 738 affecting Apple. Apple was 20% below for patching up the vulnerability as compare to Microsoft.
This study also give a fair idea that Microsoft is able to analyzed the problem at very early stage and Microsoft analyst has enough information for their security issues.Apple only started patching 0-day vulnerabilities in late 2003. Past few years Microsoft has tried to cultivate a closer relationship with security communities in order to help researchers to get know about know the software problems. Apple does not have same sort of relationship as of now.However, the study proved to be such a glowing affirmation of Microsoft’s increased focus on security in the past few years.
Recently Apple also violates its own EULA for Safari. Safari EULA said it can only be installed on any Apple Computer which also has Apple’s hardware. Take look at this picture.
