Maybe the simple truth is about OSX that they got the design right first time. Windows is still in Beta.

Linux and Mac put it at /home on day one and left it there, and those OS's are considered more secure than Windows. How does moving Control Panel|Add/Remove Programs to Control Panel|Programs and Applications help security? Mac and the various distros of Linux have their own ways of adding and removing software, but they've never changed how users find the functionality. When I right-click on a printer in Win7, I now need to click on "Printer Properties" instead of just plain "Properties". How does that confusion help security?
