At the bottom of the referenced page, you'll set this lovely nugget of wisdom:

Buy yourself a Mac and OS X, and you will be rid of security problems for good.

Mac OS X is a standard Unix; therefore, it is no more secure than Windows.

(Emphasis mine.)

His article and FAQ shows him to be the 'average user' - knows enough to be dangerous, more than enough to complain, but not willing to take rudimentary steps to protect himself, such as actually going out and buying some personal firewall software. (Granted, he's in Pakistan, so CompUSA is not an option.)

I agree with his underlying sentiment - a user should not be expected to have to fix known and established holes in software, especially OS. But the "unix is just as insecure as Windows" was a hoot!
