Safari and Mail. Sure, agreed, but they do move quickly to fix problems
publicly known, and I'm very confident that they'll shortly also release
a fix for the filetype/app problem (what could be considered the main
problem I guess).
Apple actually *do* tend to position security over functionality, unlike
Microsoft (do?/has?), when the way something that was introduced as
a feature is shown to be insecure, they change it to make it more
secure, rather than saying "It's what our users want! It's a feature,
not a bug."
Granted though, users feeling more secure can certainly lead to lapses
in security through complacency, that's the same on any platform.
