I doubt it. Rather, it looks to me like Windows is simply a platform so rife with holes that <em>even Apple developers</em> have a hard time making secure, which is really saying something.</p> Wed, 27 Jun 2007 03:56:00 -0400 urn:uuid:a66bf09b-5f70-4c66-b8ac-ed3b8d414db1 ryan http://notrocketsurgery.com/articles/2007/06/27/hacking-safari-on-windows microsoft windows mac safari apple
