Cancel or Allow?

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

I saw this for the first time over the weekend (I don’t watch much TV).

I had two thoughts.

1 – Didn’t Apple start the whole “cancel or allow” thing? OS X has always required major changes in the OS to be accompanied by not only a username, but also a password for an administrative user. Vista only requires the user to click “Allow”.

2 – Weren’t there more security problems with OS X last year than for XP? I watch SecurityFocus and Bugtraq for these things. OS X had more listings than XP in 2006.

At what point does this become false advertising?
