Apple has come a long way and arguably has a more stable OS, but Microsoft still has the OS that the majority of developers and 3rd parties are writing and developing on. Microsoft has such a strong and overwhelming position in homes and business that it will take something astounding for any other OS and software company to upset the "apple cart" that Microsoft owns.
Apple is once again rising up and coming in strong with a loyal following and if they continue to diversify and grow who knows what they might accomplish versus Microsoft. The exploits against Microsoft are due to a number of reasons that Apple and others do not share.
Microsoft releases:
* have and continue to be, sloppy, loose, and prone to errors and exploits that they then fix with their continuous updates and fixes and upgrades ...
* are a target by a large number of Hackers and intruders because of their sloppy releases and security holes
* are a target due to their large install base and the ease of which in a base install (which is most cases on personal as well as business computers) their OS and software can be hacked.
* Inherent dislike by a body of very talented and disgruntled groups against Microsoft who target Microsoft as a way of expressing their displeasure
* Microsoft development platform makes it easy to develop software etc but in doing so also makes it easy for these 3rd party developments to also be sloppy and exposed to attacks.
* Many other unique attributes of Microsoft leave them both a target and an easy exploit; unfortunately the list could go on.
Apple I do not believe would relish toppling or replacing Microsoft, Apple has its niche and it’s off shoots and by playing off of Microsoft is successful in growing and maintaining their market and loyalty.

So in terms of hating, I guess this might as well come true
